Understanding ACCME Accreditation
What Does This Mean for You?
AMC’s new ACCME accreditation status indicates that our CME program is in line with ACCME standards and guidelines. We can now offer ACCME-accredited CME activities which can help physicians and healthcare providers maintain their licensure, certification, and membership in professional societies.
The ACCME accreditation process is comprehensive and multifaceted, ensuring that our CME activities are relevant, practice-based, effective, and independent of commercial influence. ACCME also has three standards of accreditation criteria that those granted accreditation status must follow. By following the standards outlined below, AMC ensures that our courses are high quality and produce improvements in physician performance and patient outcomes.
Accreditation Criteria
The first standard that those granted accreditation must follow is to adhere to the pre-requisite criteria. The Accreditation Criteria offer a framework for planning, implementing, and evaluating CME activities. These frameworks are designed to result in improvements in clinicians’ abilities, performance in practice, or patient outcomes. Accredited CME providers need to comply with the Core Accreditation Criteria.
Standards for Integrity and Independence in Accredited Continuing Education
Accredited CME providers must adhere to standards for integrity and independence in their delivery of accredited continuing education. These standards are designed to ensure that accredited continuing education serves the needs of patients and the public. Additionally, they present learners with only balanced, accurate, scientifically justified recommendations. It is also important to reassure learners that accredited continuing education organizations can help them offer effective, safe, cost-efficient, and compassionate treatment based on the best research and practice. This also establishes a unique, unbreakable division between marketing and sales and approves continuous education. AMC can help your organization deliver the best quality care through our courses.
ACCME Policies
The final element that those granted accreditation status must follow is all ACCME policies, which supplement the Accreditation Criteria. Accredited CME providers must follow the policies that apply to their organizations. They also must follow the standards and criteria mentioned above.
