Make Continuing Medical Education (CME) Fit Between Your Schedule: A New Benefit for Eligible AMN Physicians
Why Time Is a Barrier to CME for Physicians
Physicians rarely struggle with the desire to learn. They struggle to find the time. Between patient care, travel between assignments, and the demands of a full schedule, continuing medical education often competes with the very work it's meant to support.
Traditional CME options do not always help. Conference-based education can require days away from practice. Many online courses ask for long, uninterrupted blocks of time that few physicians have. For physicians moving between assignments, the protected professional-development time available in some permanently employed settings may not exist at all.
That gap is exactly what AMN Healthcare set out to close by partnering with CSurgeries. The goal: make quality surgical education available in the small windows already built into a physician's day.
What Is CSurgeries?
CSurgeries is a peer-reviewed surgical video journal. Surgeons submit real procedures filmed in the operating room, and surgeons in the same specialty review them before publication. The library holds more than 600 procedures across 48 specialties. CSurgeries offers a library designed for physicians who want focused, clinically relevant content without a significant time commitment.
What Eligible Physicians Receive
AMN is covering a twelve-month CSurgeries membership for eligible physicians, beginning on the date of registration. During those twelve months from the date of registration, eligible physicians gain access to:
- Up to 20 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™ total
- More than 600 peer-reviewed surgical procedure videos
- Content spanning 48 specialties
- Videos averaging about five minutes in length
- CSurgeries webinars
- The ability to download CME certificates directly through their account
- A potential route to publish through the peer-reviewed video journal
There's no membership fee charged to eligible physicians, and registration doesn't require payment card information.
How Short-Format Surgical Videos Fit Into a Physician's Schedule
A five-minute video changes what's possible during a workday. Instead of scheduling a separate block of time for CME, eligible physicians can use moments that already exist, e.g., between appointments or during a pause between assignments.
This format doesn't ask physicians to choose between their schedule and their professional development. It's built to sit inside the schedule that already exists, one short, peer-reviewed video at a time.
What Type of CME Credit Is Available Through CSurgeries?
Eligible physicians can earn up to 20 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™ total through CSurgeries. As physicians complete eligible activities, they can download their CME certificates directly through their CSurgeries account, keeping documentation organized and accessible when needed.
How Do Registration and Credit Completion Work?
Registration and account setup takes place through the approved CSurgeries registration destination provided to eligible physicians.
Once registered, eligible physicians can browse the video library by specialty, complete videos and associated activities at their own pace, and track credit progress through their account. Certificates are available for download as credits are earned, giving physicians a clear record of their completed education.
Who May Qualify for the CSurgeries CME Benefit?
This benefit is available to select members of the AMN Healthcare Physician Talent Pool with a limited number of registrations. It is not a benefit available to every physician who works with AMN Healthcare.
If you're uncertain whether you qualify, the most direct way to find out is to reach out to your AMN Healthcare recruiter, who can confirm your eligibility and walk you through next steps.
How Eligible Physicians Can Activate the Benefit
Eligible physicians will be contacted directly with information on how to register through the approved CSurgeries destination. That communication will include the details needed to activate the twelve-month membership and begin exploring the video library, and webinars, included in the benefit.
The Value of Staying Connected with AMN Healthcare
A relationship with AMN Healthcare extends beyond a single assignment or placement. The CSurgeries benefit is one example of how that relationship can continue to deliver value, offering eligible physicians a practical way to invest in their professional growth without asking them to sacrifice the time they don't have.
