Where to Find UF CME Online Courses, Events, and the CME Guidebook

UF CME (cme.ufl.edu) is the University of Florida College of Medicine's continuing medical education office. Its site serves three main navigation purposes: finding online courses, browsing upcoming CME events, and accessing the CME Guidebook for conference planning. The fastest entry points are the Featured Online Learning section for self-paced courses, the Upcoming CME Events listing for scheduled activities, and the CME Guidebook page for planning guidance. If your goal is Florida license renewal, the site also surfaces required courses directly on the homepage.

Featured Online Learning: Where the Online Courses Live

The Featured Online Learning section on the UF CME homepage is the primary entry point for online coursework. It links to courses that can be completed remotely, including the Florida license renewal requirements listed below.

For the required renewal courses, the site instructs users to click the course link and enter a UFL email at the bottom of the page to gain access. This means access to these specific courses is tied to a University of Florida email address — if you don't have one, check with UF CME about eligibility before assuming you can enroll.

Required Courses for Florida License Renewal

These courses are listed on the site as approved to meet Florida Board of Medicine renewal requirements:

The site also references courses in Prescribing Controlled Substances and DEA Opioid Education as part of its renewal course offerings.

Upcoming CME Events

The Upcoming CME Events section lists scheduled continuing medical education activities. This is the place to check for live or dated programming rather than self-paced online courses. If you need CME credit for a specific period, review this listing alongside the online course options, since event dates and formats vary.

CME Guidebook: For Planning a CME Conference

The CME Guidebook is aimed at those planning CME activities, not just attending them. The site notes that planning a successful CME conference "takes thoughtful preparation," and the Guidebook supports that process.

Two related services are described on the site:

• Apply for CME Credit — Fill out the CME Application to apply for AMA PRA Category 1 Credit for your program.
• Conference Planning Services — UF CME's planning services let College of Medicine departments focus on program content while UF CME staff handles logistics.

DEA Opioid Education Requirements

The site describes a DEA license renewal requirement under the MATE Act: as of June 27, 2023, new or renewing DEA licensees must have completed at least 8 hours of training on opioid or other substance use disorders and appropriate pain treatment. This is a one-time education requirement for renewals after that date.

Quick Navigation Summary

If you're renewing a Florida license, start with the required courses section and confirm the UFL email access requirement applies to you. If you're organizing an event, the CME Application and Planning Services are the relevant starting points.
