Our Story
Built by physicians,
with physicians in mind.
CME was created by UCLA-trained physicians with vast personal experience in the med-legal category. They realized that effectively developing and managing a med-legal practice can be daunting. Their goal with CME was to simplify and expedite the process, leveraging the right systems and support to enable each partner physician to successfully build their med-legal practice.
Since then, CME has grown steadily, adding physicians, team members and evaluation facilities to better serve our clients. CME provides a deeper level of support and services than any other med-legal company. Today, with more than 200 medical specialists and over 150 exam locations across California, CME offers the resources and the expertise to provide medical, legal and insurance professionals with the best evaluation experience.
