Oregon CME Requirements for Physicians (2026)
Everything the Oregon Medical Board requires — total hours, mandated topics, the opioid/controlled-substance rule, and how it's tracked. Last reviewed 2026-07-10.
Board: Oregon Medical Board. General CME: 30 hrs/yr + 1 hr/yr cultural competency.
Opioid / controlled-substance CME in Oregon
1 hr / 2 yrs — the Oregon Pain Management Commission (OPMC) pain-management module (specific mandated course). Trigger: all actively licensed MD/DO.
⚠ Oregon gates its opioid/controlled-substance CME: a generic national course may NOT satisfy it. SPECIFIC MANDATED COURSE — the pain hour MUST be the OPMC module; a generic Cat 1 pain course does not satisfy it. Generic Cat 1 is fine for the rest of the general pool.
All mandated CME topics in Oregon
| Topic | Hours | Timing | Applies to |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pain management / treatment of terminally ill (1-hr OR Pain Mgmt Commission course + 6 hr) | 7 hrs | one-time (within 12 mo of licensure) | most licensees |
| Cultural competency | 1/yr (~2 per cycle) hrs | recurring | all practicing licensees |
Notes
- Suicide & Alzheimer's CME NOT mandated (only 'may count'). No standalone opioid CME (subsumed in pain mgmt). MOC can substitute for hours.
Pick all your states in the free planner and get one 5-year schedule that batches your opioid/controlled-substance CME so a single course covers as many licenses as possible.
