How to put your radiology CME credits on full autopilot
More radiologists earn their credits online than ever before, and Orbit Radiology is putting that process on full autopilot
May 29, 2020
More than ever before, radiologists are now turning to online resources to finish their CME credit requirements. The latest innovation in this area is Orbit Radiology, which lets radiologists earn credit using their Chrome browser, whenever they visit peer-reviewed wiki articles and journal abstracts.
Orbit was started by physicians and engineers out of Stanford University, and optimized for radiology from the very beginning with the goal of promoting literature search during patient care, while fully-automating the process of earning and tracking CME credits.
Orbit is a natural fit for radiologists, because they are constantly accessing information to support the complex task of image-guided diagnosis and treatment. Orbit automatically detects visits for many of the most popular radiology sites, and awards credit for reading articles on those pages. And unlike other options, you can begin your search from Google and surf anywhere on the web, rather than logging into a restricted database.
For radiologists in the USA, another major benefit is that Orbit allows them to earn sub-specialty credits that can otherwise be very expensive or time consuming, like mamo+tomo (MQSA), cardiac CT, fluoroscopy, and others.

Follow these steps to get started:
- Open your Chrome browser on your laptop or desktop.
- Register for any plan with Orbit Radiology.
- Search Google for radiology abstracts and articles on your favorite wikis or journals
Whenever you hit a peer-reviewed radiology wiki or journal article, you’ll get 0.5 credits (AMA PRA Category 1 Credit™). For radiologists in the USA, this credit also satisfies both your SAM/SA-CME and general radiology CME requirements for the ABR, as well as state license requirements and MQSA.
