Yes, absolutely. Our early radiologists at Orbit CME actually shaped this feature.
How does Orbit help me earn my credits?
You can earn credits by reading and redeeming articles from your Orbit CME Dashboard, or by browsing eligible websites such as PubMed and Radiopaedia while using our Orbit CME browser extension or iOS app.
Each article you read from an eligible peer-reviewed site counts for 0.5 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™.
How much breast credit do I need?
This is MQSA policy enforced by the FDA with assistance from the ACR and other groups:
15 category I credits in mammography during the past 36 months (3 years)
At least 6 category I credits should be earned in each mammographic modality used
by the interpreting physician.
Do credits in ultrasound or MRI breast imaging count for the MQSA requirement?
No. Ultrasound and breast imaging are not mammographic modalities.
Do I need to earn at least 6 credits in tomosynthesis as part of these 15 credits?
Yes, if your practice includes tomo. When you're earning your breast CME with Orbit CME, make sure at least 6 credits (12 articles or abstracts) cover each mammographic modality of your clinical practice:
film mammography
digital mammography
tomosynthesis
Relative to what dates is the three-year interval counted?
The three-year interval is counted relative to the day of your annual MQSA inspection or the immediate preceding quarter. The easy way to stay compliant is to finish your 15 mammography credits now, and repeat them 3 years from now.
Will auditors have access to the exact articles and abstracts I used in Orbit?
Yes. Your Audit Report in Orbit CME will give any interested auditors a detailed rundown of which articles you claimed for credit, so those articles should reflect the required mix of modalities.
