Continuing Education and Events

The Massachusetts Medical Society is a physician-led organization that develops CME for physicians and other health professionals, allowing them to pursue their passion for lifelong learning and professional development. We also monitor and stay current with regulatory changes and provide CME that makes it simple for physicians to meet their licensure requirements. Through a combination of online courses, live webinars, and conferences, the MMS offers CME options that fit a busy physician’s schedule. View CME frequently asked questions (FAQs) here.
