ARDMS Switches to Auditing System

IMPORTANT - PLEASE READ: CHANGE IN ARDMS POLICY

The ARDMS is switching to a continuing medical education (CME) auditing program. The ARDMS CME Audit Program went into effect January 1, 2006 commencing with the 2007 renewal season. This means that as of January 1, 2006, all ARDMS Registrants became solely responsible for accruing and maintaining their CME records. ARDMS recommends that Registrants maintain their CME records for at least four years.

In the first quarter of each calendar year, starting in 2007, up to 30 percent of ARDMS Registrants whose three-year CME cycle ends on December 31 of the previous year will be randomly selected for the CME audit. These individuals will then need to provide documentation that they have met the ARDMS CME requirements.

Do not send your CME information to ARDMS until you are audited.

Thus, SVU will no longer be sending your Online JVU-CME test results to ARDMS. You must print your certificate and retain it in case you are audited by ARDMS. It is now the individual Registrant's responsibility to provide ARDMS with appropriate CME documentation in the event he or she is audited. You must keep your certificates on file in case you are audited by ARDMS.
