Medical Treatment Guidelines Training

Overview

Continuing medical education (CME) and other training is available for the New York Medical Treatment Guidelines (MTGs). Each of the 16 MTGs has an associated online training course, enabling participants to take the courses they want, when they want.

There are a few versions of these MTG courses available – the first two sets, designed for health care providers, are available on the Board's learning management system (CourseMill) and are CME credit-bearing for medical doctor (MD) and doctor of osteopathy (DO) physicians. Other health care professionals can take the CourseMill versions to receive completion certificates. The third set is accessible to anyone and does not provide CME credits or a certificate upon completion.

MTG training for health care providers (for CME credits and/or certificates), offered through CourseMill:

  • MTG training for MD and DO physicians includes CME credit and a certificate of completion.

    Note: These courses are planned and implemented in accordance with the accreditation requirements and policies of the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) through the joint providership of the Medical Society of the State of New York (MSSNY) and the New York State Workers' Compensation Board. MSSNY is accredited by the ACCME to provide continuing medical education for physicians.

    MSSNY designates these courses with American Medical Association (AMA) Physician's Recognition Award (PRA) Category 1 Credits™. Typically, three (3) credits are assigned to each of the sixteen (16) courses. Physicians should claim only the credit commensurate with the extent of their participation in these programs.

  • MTG training for other types of health care providers includes a certificate of completion, which may be shared with the providers' respective professional organizations that grant continuing education credits.

Please note that impartial specialists are required to take the appropriate CourseMill training above.

MTG training for anyone (not for CME credits):

  • MTG training for non-medical and administrative staff
