CME Requirements for MDs, PAs, and NPs

Summary: The Great CME Panic: MDs vs. NPs vs. PAs

Storyboard:

• Panel 1: Abstract silhouette of a stressed doctor (MD) spinning a giant casino roulette wheel labeled with different states. Caption: State medical boards really out here playing CME roulette. Maine wants 100 hours, New York wants 2!
• Panel 2: Line-art of a Nurse Practitioner (NP) sweating profusely while staring at two giant red buttons (classic "Two Buttons" meme style). Caption: NPs trying to choose between logging 1000 clinical hours + 100 CMEs OR just retaking the whole certification exam.
• Panel 3: A Physician Assistant (PA) staring into space with complex, glowing math equations floating around their head (classic "Math Lady" meme style). Caption: PAs calculating their 10-year cycle with 50% bonus self-assessment credits and doubled PI-CMEs just to hit that 100-hour mark.
• Panel 4: Silhouettes of all three medical professionals sinking in a dramatic, stormy sea of calendars and paperwork. Caption: No matter the letters behind your name, miss the deadline and your license is toast.
