The Des Moines University Medicine and Health Sciences Continuing Medical Education (DMU CME) office has implemented an online reporting system for physicians who precept osteopathic medical students. The system makes it easier for physicians to report preceptor hours and earn CME credit, improves the accuracy of preceptor data, and enhances reporting capabilities.
Hours can be quickly entered by the physician, clinical coordinator, or nurse. The process is easy and can be completed in 30 seconds. There are several ways for you to access the CME preceptor web form.
- Through the student evaluation. A link to the online form opens it in a new window.
- Through the DMU CME website.
- Through the DMU COM Clinical Affairs website.
Not all fields are required. Depending on your web browser, the web form may remember previous entries. After the preceptor's CME hours are submitted, the physician, coordinator, or nurse will receive a confirmation email for their records.
This new online process provides a cleaner and more accurate report of preceptor hours. Each preceptor claims their own portion of the student’s rotation, so you no longer need to rely on another physician to accurately claim your CME hours.
More information can be found on the Preceptor CME FAQ page.
