Beginning January 1, 2026, medical licensees applying for renewal, reinstatement, or reactivation of their license must attest to the completion of 30 credit hours of continuing medical education. The Colorado Medical Board will have the ability to audit physicians, with an emphasis on non-board certified physicians, that they are completing these credit hours. Physicians must maintain a transcript or certificate of attendance of CME credits earned.  Credits awarded by the American Academy of Family Physicians, American Medical Association, American Osteopathic Association, and those required to maintain national board certification will qualify. Self-claimed or self-documented credits do not qualify.  Further, the bill gave the Colorado Medical Board rulemaking authority to identify required CME topics for physicians. The Board will be conducting a stakeholder process for considering specific CME topics on health disparities, reproductive health, sexual, and gender-based health care, explicit and implicit bias. They will also consider the frequency of, the number of hours that may be required, and which physicians are subject to the requirement.
