Continuing medical education or Chief Medical Examiner
Continuing Education units, (CEU's) are required for MA's to keep their certification, and credentials.

Organizations that may provide medical continuing education courses are universities like Everest and Duke that provide programs and on the job training.
In the US, at least, specialization happens after graduation from medical school. After obtaining a medical degree, a prospective pediatrician will then usually enter a residency program in pediatrics, which typically lasts another three years (including an intern year).
Pediatricians are licensed medical practitioners.
Continuing education is same with taking a renewal course. For example, you're a Licensed Electrician, then you'll need to renew your license for every date you're required to take an "Electrical Continuing Education" course. If you are talking about courses without continuing education, there is a lot of courses that I should mention. But let me give you examples, courses like Medical Transcription training, Medical Billing and Coding training, Pharmacy Technician training, Medical Office Management training and the like don't have renewal courses or should I say continuing education courses. I hope this will help you enlightened about the difference of continuing education courses and non-CE courses.
The companies PCMScientific and Marbek both specialize in hosting continuing medical education conferences. Both companies also specialize in many other educations.
To become a pediatrician, the minimum requirements include completing a bachelor’s degree, followed by a medical degree (MD or DO), and a residency in pediatrics, which typically lasts about three years. After completing residency, pediatricians must pass a board certification exam to practice. The maximum requirements can vary by state but often include obtaining a license to practice medicine and ongoing continuing education to maintain certification. Additional subspecializations may require further fellowship training.
Ophthalmologists are typically required to complete a minimum of 50 continuing medical education (CME) credits every two years to maintain their board certification, although this may vary by state or certifying body. Many of these credits must be in specific areas related to ophthalmology. Additionally, some states require ophthalmologists to complete courses in topics such as ethics or patient safety. It's important for ophthalmologists to stay updated with their local regulations and the requirements set by their certifying organizations.
Pediatricians are medical doctors who specialize in pediatrics, or the care and treatment of children. Most pediatricians are licensed doctors of osteopathic medicine.
