What is Texas SB 25?
Texas Senate Bill 25 establishes a nutrition and metabolic health continuing education requirement for healthcare professionals licensed in Texas, including physicians, physician assistants, nurses, and dietitians. The law was passed to ensure clinicians have current, evidence-based knowledge about the role of nutrition in preventing and managing chronic diseases. The requirement takes effect for license renewals on or after January 1, 2027.
When does the Texas nutrition CE requirement take effect?
The requirement applies to license renewals on or after January 1, 2027. If your next Texas medical license renewal falls on or after that date, you must include nutrition and metabolic health CE in your completed hours.
How many hours of nutrition CE do Texas physicians need?
Texas SB 25 requires physicians to complete nutrition and metabolic health CE as part of their renewal requirements beginning January 1, 2027. Our 1-hour course is anticipated to satisfy this requirement and counts toward your total 48-hour biennial CME obligation.
Which physicians does SB 25 apply to?
SB 25 applies to Texas-licensed physicians (MDs and DOs) involved in direct patient care. Texas has over 80,000 actively licensed physicians who will be affected by this requirement.
What type of CE credit does this course provide?
Our Nutrition and Metabolic Health CE course provides 1.0 AMA PRA Category 1 Credit(s)™ through ACCME joint accreditation. This is the credit type required by the Texas Medical Board (TMB) for physician license renewal.
Does this nutrition hour count toward my total CME requirement?
Yes. The 1 hour of nutrition CE counts toward your total 48-hour biennial CME requirement. SB 25 requires that nutrition and metabolic health be included among your completed hours — it does not add extra hours on top of your existing requirement.
Can I complete this course now even though SB 25 doesn’t take effect until 2027?
Yes. The course provides 1.0 AMA PRA Category 1 Credit™ that counts toward your current biennial CME requirement regardless of when you complete it. Completing it now means you are already compliant when the mandate takes effect, and you avoid the rush as January 2027 approaches.
What topics does the nutrition CE course cover?
The course covers evidence-based nutrition and metabolic health topics relevant to clinical practice, including macronutrient and micronutrient requirements across the lifespan, current dietary guidelines and MyPlate recommendations, nutrition interventions for chronic disease prevention, and pharmacological and surgical treatment options for obesity management including GLP-1 receptor agonists and metabolic bariatric surgery.
How long does the course take to complete?
The course is 1 hour, fully online, self-paced, and on-demand. You can complete it in a single sitting or return to it at your convenience. Once you finish the course and pass the assessment, your certificate is immediately available for download.
Is this course accredited?
Yes. This activity has been planned and implemented in accordance with the accreditation requirements and policies of the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME). Physicians earn 1.0 AMA PRA Category 1 Credit(s)™. The course is also jointly accredited for physician assistants (AAPA), nurses (ANCC), and dietitians (CDR).
Do I need to submit my certificate to the Texas Medical Board?
Texas physicians attest to completing their CME requirements during the renewal process. You are not required to submit certificates during routine renewal, but TMB may audit licensees to confirm compliance. Keep your certificate on file. With Renew Now CE, your certificate is available for instant download upon completing the course.
Can I complete this course on my phone or tablet?
Yes. The course is fully accessible on desktop, laptop, tablet, and mobile devices. You can start, pause, and resume at any time.
