Dr. Cleveland,
Dr. Betsy Brown was correct. The National HIV Curriculum still provides free CME credit to physicians and advanced nurse practitioners who correctly answer at least 80% of the questions in a lesson's quiz or corresponding question bank topic and complete the survey. The 2nd Edition of the National HIV Curriculum, launched September 1, 2020, offers 97.5 free CME, MOC, CNE, and CE as well as 70.5 free pharmacology CE for advanced practice nurses. Registered learners may obtain 2nd Edition CE even if they previously obtained 1st Edition CE as all content was reviewed and updated for the new 3-year CE accreditation period which began September 1.
The attached PDF lists all of the National HIV units and the available CE.
Respectfully,
Julia

Family doctors can get CME credit, just not the convenient and direct MOC that internal medicine docs get that goes directly to their Board. You can still apply and receive credit- I have in the past anyway, and then submit separately to ABFM

Hello,
How come family doctors cannot get CME credit regarding the National HIV Curr?
Just Curious why it was designed this way?
Aaron
ONLY physicians who are board certified with the American Board of Internal Medicine (ABIM) and provide required ABIM information are eligible to earn CME credit and Maintenance of Certification (MOC) points on the National HIV Curriculum.

Hi Gina,
I work on the National HIV Curriculum and I can share with you that the National HIV Curriculum is listed as a suggested resource to prepare for the ACRN exam among other resources which you might find helpful. Several learning groups have been formed on the National HIV Curriculum for the specific purpose to prepare for a credentialing exam. AAHIVM also suggests the National HIV Curriculum to prepare for their exams. With the launch of the National HIV Curriculum 2nd Edition on 9/1/20 which means a new CE accreditation period, we now offer Maintenance of Certification points which will be of interest to American Board of Internal Medicine board certified physicians.
I'm glad to hear that our board review style Question Bank section with more than 450 questions have been of assistance. Good luck with your exam!
Julia

Did anyone use the National HIV Curriculum to study for the exam? National HIV Curriculum
I do have the Fundamentals of HIV Medicine book, but the national HIV curriculum has the question bank which I really like. I did not purchase the practice tests from AAHIVM, but I have been doing the quizzes on the National Curriculum... wondering if others have found that helpful?
Thanks all, I take my test next month :)
