CME for Nurses in Saudi Arabia

Why nurses choose accredited CME

CME for nurses in Saudi Arabia has to fit around rotating shifts, night duty, and a full patient load. Every nurse registered with the Saudi Commission for Health Specialties (SCFHS) needs continuing professional development hours to keep that registration active, and the hours only count when they come from accredited activity. Mulhim provides SCFHS-accredited CME built for nursing practice, delivered fully online and self-paced, so you earn recognized hours without taking time off the ward.

Because the courses are online, you study in short blocks between shifts or on a day off, then return to the same point later. Nothing expires part way through, and there is no travel or fixed class time to arrange.

SCFHS CPD categories and the hours you need

SCFHS records professional development in Mumaris Plus and sorts it into categories. Category 1 is structured, accredited learning such as accredited courses, workshops, and conferences. Category 2 is self-directed activity like reading, case review, and clinical teaching. Accredited online courses, including every course on Mulhim, are Category 1.

The total hours your cycle requires depend on your professional classification and how your registration is graded, so the figure is not the same for every nurse. Open your Mumaris Plus account to see the requirement tied to your own licence, and treat accredited Category 1 hours as the core of what you submit.

How nurses earn and submit CME hours

Enroll in an accredited course, complete it online, and download your certificate. Each course carries 5 CME hours and is individually accredited under provider number AC10000415. Completed hours are recorded and prepared for submission to Mumaris Plus, where they count toward your SCFHS licence renewal.

Keep every certificate. At renewal SCFHS may ask you to show evidence for the hours you reported, and an accredited certificate with a provider number is the record you want on file. For the full process, see our guide on how to get CME hours for SCFHS and the licence renewal steps.

What Mulhim gives nursing teams

Every Mulhim course is accredited under provider number AC10000415 and worth 5 CME hours, and you can download the certificate the moment you finish. The material is written for clinical work rather than generic theory, so the reading connects to what happens on the ward.

You choose single courses when you need a few hours, or a bundle when a renewal cycle asks for more at once. There is no scheduled cohort and no waiting list, which helps nurses returning to practice after a break or catching up close to a deadline.

The catalogue leans toward the topics ward nurses meet daily: infection prevention, patient safety, quality of care, and clear communication across a team. That keeps the hours you earn close to the work you already do.
