Additionally, IMQ provides documentation of physicians' CME in the event of a medical board audit. The CME Certification service helps physicians demonstrate to the public their dedication to high-quality medical care through a commitment to lifelong learning. Users are able to check the status of CME credits, keep track of their progress, and print their transcripts at their convenience from IMQ's online CME certification user portal.

Physicians also can request that their CME certification information be sent to hospitals, health plans, specialty societies, and others for credentialing or membership renewal purposes at no additional charge.
