Transition Timeline
During Transition (Now – Sept 7)
Use the current site for past credit claims, downloading transcripts, and pre-2019 records. Use the new site for creating accounts, new enrollments, and future activities.
On September 8 the current site will be taken down. The new site will be available at www.CECentral.com.

Board Certification FAQs
Q: Why am I being asked for board certification info?
A: Certain boards allow automatic credit reporting through ACCME (JA-PARS). Entering your info enables this when available.
Q: Why can’t I find my board listed?
A: Only boards with ACCME agreements are listed. If yours is not listed, no action is needed.
Transcripts and CE History
- Transferred: CE history from 2019 onward
- Not transferred: Records before 2019
- Not transferred: User accounts
Action required by Sept 7: Download pre-2019 transcripts from the current site.
2019+ transcripts may take several hours or a day to appear in your new account.
Enrolling in Grand Rounds
Series are multiple sessions under one program (e.g., Pediatric Grand Rounds). Individual sessions are single events.
Pre-Enrolling (Recommended)

Enrolling Day-Of
- Access via link or QR code from the coordinator.
- Log in or create an account.

Automatic Credit Upload FAQ
Q: Will all my credits upload automatically if I add my board info?
A: No. CME always uploads to JA-PARS, but board MOC credit only uploads if the activity is designated for that board.
Key point: Adding board info enables reporting, but check the activity description to confirm MOC designation.
