FAQ
How long do I have to complete an activity?
On-demand activities on ReachMD do not have strict completion deadlines. You can start an activity today and finish it next week—or next month. Your progress is saved to your account. However, each activity has a release and expiration date (typically a one-year window), and CME credit availability ends when an activity expires or is retired—so completing sooner is always a good idea.
Are on-demand activities the same quality as live events?
Yes. On-demand CME activities are developed with the same accreditation standards, expert faculty, and evidence-based content as live or virtual events. Many on-demand activities are recordings of previously live programs—so you're getting the same education, just on your own timeline.
Can I pause and resume later?
Yes. Your progress is saved to your ReachMD account. If you need to step away mid-activity, you can come back and pick up where you left off on any device—desktop, phone, or tablet.
Is it free?
Yes. All standard on-demand CME activities on ReachMD are free. No subscription, no paywall, no hidden fees. Create a free account, complete activities, and claim your credits at no cost.
How long does each activity take?
Activity duration varies by type. MinuteCE® episodes run about 3–5 minutes each (programs consist of multiple episodes). Podcast episodes run 20–45 minutes. Video presentations and case-based learning may take 30–60+ minutes. Every activity page shows the estimated time before you start.
How do I get my certificate?
Complete the activity and any required evaluation, then click "Claim Credit." Your certificate is generated instantly as a downloadable PDF. All certificates are also stored on your ReachMD dashboard for future access.
