Compiled by Atlas CME from official board sources · Last updated July 4, 2026
For CRNAs, 60 hours is the total CME requirement. New Hampshire also requires a set of one-time topics that count toward the 60-hour total.
“5 hours shall be education in pharmacology appropriate to the specialty practice area.”
Credit must come from an organization accredited by the ACCME, AMA, New Hampshire Medical Association, or AAFP. ACGME residency or fellowship time accrues toward the requirement. Teaching or presenting accredited CME can satisfy a portion of required hours.

Physicians are responsible for retaining CME documentation and producing it on request. Requirements include course title, dates, hours, sponsoring organization, and accrediting body.
An APRN-CRNA may request inactive license status in lieu of meeting the continuing education requirements of Nur 403 (the 60-hour biennial APRN-CRNA CE requirement). Inactive status relieves the licensee of the CE obligation while the license is not in active practice.
