. I have questions about the CME requirements. I obtained my initial certification from BCEM in summer of 2000. Since then I have completed 30 hours of CME per year(required by state of Virginia). However, I can only find proof of CME's done over the past 5 years, primarily due to fact that I was not aware of need to have CME's saved for recert until a few years ago. I have documentation of numerous CME's done over the past 5 years, most of which are related to emergency medicine. I also recerted in BLS, PALS, ACLS, and ATLS in late 2009...I have updated cards in all of these.I want very much to take the recert exam this coming November but need to know if I will be allowed to given that I cannot give proof of CME's done from 2000 to around 2004.Again, to maintain my license in Virginia, I had to do 30 hours per year during the time period between 2000 and 2004, so I am hoping you will accept my word that I completed those CME hours during that time. I have continued to practice emergency medicine full time since becoming certified by BCEM,and all of my licenses are up to date. I can provide proof of CME's over the past 5 or 6 years plus copies of new PALS, ACLS, ATLS  cards. Please let me know asap so I can submit application and fees prior to May 1st. Thanks, David H.
