Medscape Education: Who Qualifies and What You Get
Learn how clinicians and pharmacists can access free clinical modules and earn continuing education credits through Medscape Education.
Medscape Education provides clinical modules designed to help healthcare professionals keep their medical knowledge up to date through structured continuing education.
Who it's for
This program is designed specifically for medical professionals, including pharmacists and various types of clinicians. It serves as a resource for those looking to advance their practice and stay current with evolving clinical standards and pharmaceutical research through a dedicated professional development platform.
What you get
Users can access a variety of clinical modules. By completing these educational modules, you can earn CME (Continuing Medical Education) or CE (Continuing Education) credits. These credits serve as formal documentation of your ongoing learning and professional development within the healthcare field.
What it costs you
The registration process for the platform is free of charge. However, there is a requirement regarding your documentation: you must undergo a professional license verification process. This means you will need to provide proof of your professional credentials to the platform to confirm your status as a qualified clinician or pharmacist before you can access the educational content.
The catch to know
Because the educational content and the credits provided are US-centric, they are designed primarily around United States medical standards. It is important to verify with your own local regulatory or licensing body whether these specific credits are accepted toward your specific local licensing requirements and professional standing.
How to apply
- Visit the official Medscape portal to begin.
- Create a new professional account using your credentials.
- Complete the mandatory professional license verification step.
