Good morning. Yes, I am hoping to earn accredited CME credits directly inside Heidi. I would then want to receive a certificate for the credits I've earned. The credits that matter most are AMA PRA Category 1 credits and AOA Category 1-B credits (1-A is for live activities like at conferences, so that would likely not apply for on-demand research within Heidi). Physicians that are board certified through the American Board of Medical Specialties (all Board-Certified physicians) need to regularly obtain AMA PRA Category 1 credits to maintain certification. Personally, I am a board certified psychiatrist. Additionally, as my medical degree is (D.O), I have to obtain AOA Category 1-B credits to maintain certain medical licensures, such as my California and Tennessee medical licenses. Whenever I have clinical questions while meeting with patients or performing consultations, I have started to use the Evidence tab within Heidi as a resource to help address my question. I've found the evidence to be well-formulated and helpful. I would like to use Heidi more frequently for this and other purposes moving forward, especially if I can gain the above accredited CME credits. Thank you.

Thanks for sharing this — AMA/AOA-approved credits tied to the Evidence feature is a really interesting idea.
To make sure we capture what you’re looking for, could you clarify a couple things?
1) Are you hoping to earn CME/CE credits directly inside Heidi (e.g., reading evidence summaries/citations), or export activity for credit elsewhere?
2) Which credit types matter most for you (AMA PRA Category 1, AOA Category 1-A/1-B, etc.), and what specialty/use case are you using Evidence for?
3) Do you have an example of a workflow or accrediting body/provider you’d want this to align with?
If you can share a bit more context, I’ll pass it along to the team.
