Mandated topic
Ethics, professional boundaries and sexual misconduct prevention. Free supply here is unusually good.
5 free options verified August 22, 2026Pri-Med Institute
AMA Journal of Ethics (AMA Ed Hub)
Roughly 400–500 activities, 0.5–1.0 credit each, fully open access in perpetuity. The best free ethics library anywhere — effectively unlimited ethics credit for Texas, Michigan, Nevada and New Jersey.
Heads up: AMA's separate curated 'ethics CME track' and its completion certificate ARE member-only, and JAMA Network journal CME is paywalled at ~$45/article. The Journal of Ethics activities themselves are free to everyone.
Federation of State Medical Boards
From the FSMB itself. Only 0.5 credit, so combine it.
Medical College of Georgia at Augusta University
Purpose-built for Georgia's one-time 2-hour requirement under O.C.G.A. § 43-34-11(a)(6). Satisfies it completely and at no cost.
Heads up: The enrollment page lists no price and no payment step, which is consistent with free — but the provider never states $0 in writing, so we cannot assert it. Confirm with the provider. The activity window also closes February 28, 2027.
UC Irvine School of Medicine / PBI Education, sponsored by the Alabama Board
Satisfies Alabama's mandatory professional boundaries requirement in full.
Heads up: Free ONLY to Alabama licensees — access requires license verification. Physicians elsewhere must buy PBI's commercial version.
