Continuing Medical Education for Vitamin D - low cost or free
RxCe.com $12 for a 2-hour Vitamin D course
Some others as of May 2026
Medscape
The most notable recent addition is a January 2026 Medscape activity, "Medscape Now! Vitamin D Supplementation: Engaging the Healthcare Team in Evidence-Based Decision-Making," designated for 0.25 contact hours and approved for AAPA Category 1 CME credit through January 2029. It's free and aimed at the broader healthcare team.
Statpearls
StatPearls offers several enduring activities through its jointly accredited program (ACCME/ACPE/ANCC), with credit valid for MOC points across ABIM, ABS, and the Royal College of Canada. Their "Vitamin D Deficiency" activity for MDs and PAs is designated for up to 1.50 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits, and they run a parallel CE version for nurses. These are reference-article-plus-test format requiring a 100% passing score.
GrassrootsHealth
GrassrootsHealth — remains the most mission-aligned option and is the gateway to their Dcertification. Their two foundational free CME courses are "Vitamin D, Sunshine, Optimal Health: Putting it all Together" by Robert Heaney (Creighton) and "Public Health Initiative: Meeting the Vitamin D Requirements of the Pregnant Woman" by Carol Wagner (MUSC), each worth 1 AMA PRA Category 1 Credit. These were developed from the December 2014 "Vitamin D for Public Health" seminar co-sponsored by UC San Diego School of Medicine. They've since added a broader Vitamin DEducation course; as of January 2025 it's approved for 1.5 CNE and CPEU credits for nurses and dietitians (renewed for two years on Jan 7, 2025) and serves as the prerequisite for the Vitamin DPractitioner Certification. Completing the free CMEs lets practitioners apply to be listed as a Certified Dpractitioner.
American College of Physicians
A few other accredited options round things out. The American College of Physicians has "Beyond the Guidelines: Should We Screen for Vitamin D Deficiency?", an enduring material designated for up to 3 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits, with the CME course requiring a 100% score and qualifying for 5 CME credits, available through cme.annals.org. Des Moines University offers a vitamin D deficiency activity carrying 1.0 AOA Category 2-B credits for osteopathic physicians, 1.0 nursing contact hour, and 1.0 AMA PRA Category 1 Credit for other providers.
The GrassrootsHealth courses are the only ones here built around the optimal-level paradigm (40–60 ng/mL) rather than the conventional ~30 ng/mL deficiency-threshold framing that StatPearls, ACP, and DMU use — so they're philosophically distinct, not just different vendors. And the Medscape activity being brand new (and free) makes it the freshest evidence snapshot if you want to see how the current "engaging the healthcare team" messaging is framed.
