CME Requirements by State (2026): Physicians, NPs, PAs, CRNAs & CAAs

Total hours, renewal cycles, every mandated topic, and each state's opioid/controlled-substance rule — for physicians (MD/DO), nurse practitioners (APRN), physician assistants (PA), nurse anesthetists (CRNA) and anesthesiologist assistants (CAA), sourced from board rules and statutes, last reviewed 2026-08-24. Licensed in several states? The free planner merges them into one schedule.

Each state page covers all five professions in separate sections, because each is regulated by its own board with its own hours and topics — and CAAs can practice only in the 24 jurisdictions that authorize them, which the pages say explicitly. The federal DEA MATE Act and most opioid/controlled-substance prescribing CME apply to every DEA registrant — physicians, NPs, PAs, CRNAs and CAAs alike.
