Turn the books you're already reading into AMA PRA Category 1 Credit™
CME By the Book is a library of self-paced enduring materials built around books that matter to your life as a physician. No lectures. No cohorts. One book. One price. Credit calculated to the quarter hour.Â
Every CME By the Book title is designated for AMA PRA Category 1 Credit(s)™, granted upon completion of the required reading and assessment. Academic Medicine Strategy Group (AMedSG) is accredited by the Indiana State Medical Association (ISMA), a Recognized Accreditor under ACCME - Provider ID 4008449.
The best CME is the book you're already reading.
Most CME asks you to carve out hours you don't have. CME By the Book starts from something you were probably going to do anyway: read a good book.
You bring the reading. We bring the accreditation, the framework, and the certificate.
How It Works
1. Choose a title.
Browse the CME By the Book catalog and choose the title you're interested in. Every book in the library is independently reviewed and mapped to CME credit hours. Check back for new titles as the library grows.Â
2. Get a copy of the book.
Courses do NOT include a copy of the book. Buy, borrow, or check it out from the library in print, e-book, or audiobook format.Â
Enjoy the book in its entirety at your own pace.Â
3. Complete the assessment.
A short set of open-ended questions tied to that specific book's ideas. Length varies by title.Â
4. Get your certificate.
Once you successfully complete the assessment, your AMA PRA Category 1 Credit™ certificate generates immediately, with credit hours calculated specifically for that title.
The Library
Every title below is its own standalone course. Click a cover to enroll. Every title is priced at $25 per CME credit hour, calculated to the quarter hour. Growing to 25 titles by the end of 2026.
