NOTE: We are using a new CME platform for 2026. See below for details on how to register and claim credit.
Listen to the GeriPal geriatrics and palliative care podcasts and claim Continuing Medical Education (CME) credits through UCSF for a small fee ($100 for the annual subscription that gives you access to claim credit for each of the CME podcasts published either in the 2024, 2025, and/or 2026 season). We are aiming for about half of our podcasts to have CME credit attached to them, each one designated for a maximum of 0.75 AMA PRA Category 1 CreditsTM, so that would be about 20 credits per year if all goes well for the $100 fee. For a list of CME eligible podcasts, click here. To register and claim credits for CME follow these instructions:
- Register and pay for the Annual GeriPal CME activity for either the podcasts published in a particular year (i.e. listen to podcasts published in 2026 and claim credit by registering for the 2026 season; listen to the podcasts published in 2025 and claim credit by registering for the 2025 season):
- Listen to any of the individual podcasts published during the year-long activity
- To claim credit:
- Go to the UCSF CME portal and open the COURSE CONTENT tab for the year that the podcast was published and that you registered for, and follow the instructions to complete the evaluation and obtain a certificate
For issues registering or claiming credit for CME, email me at eric.widera@ucsf.edu.
What do we do with this money? $45 goes to the UCSF CME office for overseeing the CME, and the rest goes to support the production (transcribing the podcast, paying for our producer, and advertising to help disseminate the podcast). None of the money goes to support Alex or Eric (it’s our hobby).
Note:
