Effective November 30th, national and state accredited providers no longer need to submit the "International Activity Request Form" to receive approval for providing AMA PRA Category 1 Credit to physicians not licensed in the United States. This policy change, approved by the AMA's Council on Medical Education, allows accredited providers to award Category 1 credit to domestic and international physicians without additional designation language on promotional materials or certificates. The new AMA PRA booklet, scheduled for publication in early 2006, will reflect this change.
