Two parts of CME?

Two parts of CME?

• A. Category 1 and Category 2
• B. Core CME and Specialty CME
• C. Self-Assessment and Performance Improvement CME
• D. Basic and Advanced CME

Answer: (A)

Two parts of CME refer to the historic split between Category 1 and Category 2 activities. Category 1 consists of formal, structured activities that are eligible for CME credit and typically include components like defined learning objectives, evaluation, and credit designation. Category 2 includes informal or non–credit-bearing activities that still support professional learning but do not count toward CME credit. This distinction is why naming Category 1 and Category 2 is the best answer. The other options describe different ways people talk about CME content or frameworks, but they do not reflect the traditional two-part division used for credit: Core vs Specialty, Self-Assessment and Performance Improvement, or Basic vs Advanced CME.
