Step by Step Instructions

CMDs can update their learning plans (transcripts) in the CE Center at http://cecenter.mdcb.org. The CE Center requires Internet Explorer 7 or greater or Firefox browsers. The following instructions will guide you through the process:

To Search for and Add a Course to your Learning Plan:

  1. From your Learning Plan, click the blue Add Activity…button

  2. Enter your Search criteria and select the orange Search button

    Tips for Searching for a Course:

    • Start with a Broad Search by using Keyword or Course Number and no other Search criteria
      • Example of Keyword Search: EGFR or Equipment
      • Example of Course Number Search: 108190
        • Leaving off 'MDCB' in the Course Number yields better results
        • Do *not* include dashes (-) or pound sign (#) in Course Number Search
      • If the Search returns a large number of results, you can add additional Search criteria to narrow the list of Courses
      • By clicking on the Plus icon that appears with activity, the start/end dates and units of the activity will be provided
  3. Click the orange Select button for the Course you wish to add to your Learning Plan
  4. Now it is added to your learning plan, you can upload a file and submit the activity for review.

If you wish to have a personal activity evaluated for credit:

  • Select “Add Activity”
  • Select Personal Activity Credit Request and click on Search
  • The system will generate an activity # for the personal activity request
  • Select the activity
  • This will generate a screen where you will complete the requested fields for your submission and upload the documentation and "Submit for Evaluation"
  • Author position and completion date are for journal article authoring only and will not need to be completed for other activities.

Important Tips

  • Acceptable forms of documentation include: pdf, tif, bmp, jpg.

  • Unacceptable formats include txt, doc(x), xls(x), xps, htm or mht.

  • Only add activities to your learning plan that you completed during your current cycle.

  • Be sure activities you are adding to your learning plan are valid by checking the “Activity End Date” and “Activity Start Date”. Activities should be active at the time you are completing them.

  • Before participating in an activity, check the Learning Builder database to ensure an activity is currently approved for MDCB credit.

  • Be sure documentation you receive from a provider of an activity you have participated in includes the current MDCB approval number and the date on which you participated.

  • If a provider requests your CMD number, please be sure to provide it. We are working with many providers to furnish the MDCB with data on your participation in various activities. The data provided will auto populate learning plans for the activities as completed and accepted.

  • When searching for an activity, the easiest way to find the activity you are looking for is to use only the keyword search.

  • To determine the reason an activity has been rejected or received 0 credit, click on the “magnifying glass” icon next to the activity to read the rejection message.

  • Activities indicated in “staff review” have not yet been audited. Once your learning plan is audited you will receive e-mail notification.
