Continuing Medical Education (CME)
Empowering New Jersey’s Osteopathic Physicians Through Lifelong Learning
At NJAOPS, we believe that continuous learning is the cornerstone of excellent patient care. Our comprehensive CME program is designed to help osteopathic physicians stay clinically current, maintain licensure, and meet AOA, ACCME, and state CME requirements—all while fostering professional growth.
Check out this chart to review your state and the upcoming CME requirements you may be obligated to complete before the end of the licensing period. Choose AROC 2026 as your resource for satisfying these mandatory education sessions!
All physicians need 100 total CME credits of which 40 must be category 1-A for their New Jersey state medical license. This year's CME cycle is July 1, 2023 to June 30, 2025.
