There are two methods of earning continuing mediator education (CME) hours that involve using audio or video recordings. On the CME Reporting Form these are education methods 2 and 3. The difference in these methods is that method 2 is considered a live, interactive activity and method 3 is a non-live activity. Method 3 is simply listening to or viewing a CME presentation on your own. On the other hand, method 2 involves listening to or viewing a CME presentation in a group with at least one other person present and requires real time interaction either in person, telephonically, or through electronic means.
