-
Is CardioServ an accredited CME provider?
Yes. CardioServ, LLC is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) to provide continuing medical education for physicians.
Eligible Better Cardiology activities offer AMA PRA Category 1 Credit™. Each course identifies the available credit and completion requirements. -
Can cardiac sonographers use your CME for ARDMS or CCI renewal?
Yes. Our accredited CME activities are eligible for ARDMS and CCI credentialing requirements.
-
What is the difference between CME credit and ABIM MOC points?
AMA PRA Category 1 Credit™ recognizes participation in accredited continuing medical education.
ABIM Maintenance of Certification (MOC) Medical Knowledge points contribute toward a physician's continuing certification requirements.
Selected Better Cardiology activities offer both. The available credits and points are identified on each course page. -
How do I receive my CME certificate and ABIM MOC points?
After completing the course requirements, you have access to claim your CME credit and immediately access your certificate.
For eligible ABIM MOC activities, CardioServ submits the required completion information through ACCME's reporting system. Once processed, your MOC points will appear in your ABIM Physician Portal.
You must provide the necessary ABIM information and meet the activity requirements for your points to be reported. -
Do I need to pass a quiz to earn CME or ABIM MOC points?
Our knowledge checks are designed to reinforce learning rather than tricky testing.
After answering each question, you receive immediate feedback showing the correct answer and a detailed educational explanation.
For activities offering ABIM MOC Medical Knowledge points, learners must achieve a score of 100% on the required knowledge assessment.
If you answer incorrectly, you can review the explanation and retake the same assessment. -
What is included in a Better Cardiology course?
Course formats vary by topic and may include expert-led presentations, real clinical cases, written educational material, illustrations, and knowledge checks.
Dr. Wharton's Case Stuides include short videos and a Clinical Learning Companion that expands on important concepts and helps you apply what you have learned. -
Do you offer discounted CME bundles?
Yes. Better Cardiology offers discounted bundles that combine selected courses into convenient learning packages.
Visit our Bundles collection to explore current options. -
What if I need assistance?
If you have difficulty accessing a course, completing an assessment, or retrieving your certificate, contact CardioServ for assistance. Include the course title and the email address associated with your account.

Is the Non-CME material the same as the CME material?
Yes! The material is exactly the same. We recognize that in some settings (school, fellowship programs, etc.) there may not be a need for Cat 1 AMA certification. This allows us to offer the courses at a lower price point and pass the savings on to you!
