The Texas Medical Association now automatically reports physician continuing medical education credits earned through TMA CME activities directly to CE Broker.
The new service was developed in response to feedback from physicians who asked TMA to help make the new state-mandated CME reporting requirement easier. That requirement begins Sept. 1, 2026.
The new reporting requirement took effect Sept. 1, 2026, and TMA now reports continuing medical education credits earned through TMA CME activities daily. There is no separate fee for this automated reporting to CE Broker; the service is included with TMA CME activities, regardless of membership status.
Please note: Prior to the requirement taking effect, TMA completed a one-time historical report to CE Broker of TMA CME activities dating back to Sept. 1, 2024. The upload was intended to capture TMA CME activities that may apply to the first renewal cycle under the new CE Broker reporting requirement.
Physicians who completed a Texas-mandated CME course through TMA before Sept. 1, 2024, may need to self-report that activity in CE Broker if it applies to their current renewal requirements. Physicians can access their TMA CME transcript and the association’s Education Center from the Texas Licensure Resources section in the side navigation. This will allow them to view or print CME certificates for completed courses.
For convenience, physicians can visit TMB’s Physician CME Hours Requirement Chart webpage to review current Texas CME requirements.
Physicians should continue to review their CE Broker account before renewal to confirm their CME activity history is accurate and complete. If repeated entries appear, physicians may need to remove any duplicate self-reported entries from their account.
Frequently Asked Questions
What if I have not created my CE Broker account yet?
TMA can report completed TMA CME activities to CE Broker even if you have not yet created your CE Broker account. When TMA submits credits via the CE Broker Portal, the system automatically creates a pending profile for the physician. Physicians are encouraged to create a free basic CE Broker account so they can review their reported CME activity history and confirm their records are complete before renewal. Create or access your CE Broker account online.
What if I have already self-reported a TMA CME activity in CE Broker?
If you have already self-reported a TMA CME activity and TMA later reports the same activity, a duplicate may appear in your CE Broker account.
Physicians should review their CE Broker account and remove any duplicate self-reported entries if needed. CE Broker provides instructions for editing or deleting self-reported courses online.
How often does TMA report physicians’ TMA CME credits to CE Broker?
TMA reports physicians’ completed TMA CME credits to CE Broker daily. Because TMA offers enduring material that may be completed at any time, daily reporting will help ensure new completions are submitted on an ongoing basis. If you complete a TMA CME activity and do not see it listed right away, please check again the next day.
Physicians should not wait until the day of a license renewal or CME deadline to complete required CME. If you are approaching a deadline and a completed TMA CME activity has not yet appeared in your CE Broker account, consider self-reporting the activity and retaining your completion documentation. If TMA subsequently reports the same completion, you may need to remove the duplicate entry from your account.
Will TMA report CME activities completed through other organizations?
No. TMA will report only CME activities provided by TMA. Physicians are responsible for ensuring that any CME completed through other organizations is reported to CE Broker, either by the accredited provider or through the physician’s CE Broker account.
Does TMA report past CME activities?
Yes. The association completed a one-time historical report of TMA CME activity completions dating back to Sept. 1, 2024. Physicians who completed a Texas-mandated CME course through TMA before Sept. 1, 2024, may need to self-report that activity in CE Broker if it applies to their current renewal requirements.
Do I have to be a TMA member for TMA to report my CME credit to CE Broker?
No. The association will report completed TMA CME activities to CE Broker for all physicians who complete TMA CME activities, regardless of membership status.
