SPR PQI Programs
CME Gateway
The SPR is happy to announce that our members now have access to the CME Gateway. The CME Gateway is located at www.cmegateway.org and allows members to view and print results of CME credits earned through several participating societies.
Note that the Gateway will only reflect CME earned through the SPR from January 1, 2006 to the present. It may take up to 60 days for the educational activity you participated in to be posted on the Gateway.
To access your record, visit www.cmegateway.org. If this is your first time to the Gateway, you will be asked to create a username and password - these may be whatever you choose. Once you are in the Gateway, access your SPR CME records by selecting "Organizations" and registering your SPR username and password with the site. (Your username is the first initial of your first name, the first initial of your last name, and your SPR member ID number with the leading zeroes, strung together, no spaces. Your password is your last name. If you have a hyphenated last name, your username is your first initial of your first name and the first initial in your first last name. Enter both names AND the hyphen as your password.) Once you have done that, you may choose "Certificates" from the menu and enter the criteria you want to view and/or print.
If you do not know your SPR member ID number, you can access this from your member record on the website. Go to Member Resources on the SPR website and select "Update Personal Information" in the navigation bar on the right. The Assn Member ID, located near the upper left of the screen, is your SPR member ID. Note: The gateway requires an 8-digit number so you will need to add the necessary number of zeroes at the front. If you need assistance in obtaining your SPR member ID, please contact SPR@acr.org.
