Continuing Medical Education (CME) Accreditation

Accredited continuing medical education (CME) is one of the most effective tools for changing clinical practice. Programs accredited by the ACCME are held to rigorous standards that ensure content is accurate, evidence-based, and independent of commercial influence. The result? Education that improves patient safety, reduces unnecessary spending, supports physician well-being, and drives measurable quality improvement. Whether you're a healthcare organization, association, or life sciences company, investing in accredited CME means investing in outcomes that matter.

  • Organizations eligible to be accredited in the ACCME System (eligible organizations) are those whose mission and function are: (1) providing clinical services directly to patients; or (2) the education of healthcare professionals; or (3) serving as fiduciary to patients, the public, or population health; and other organizations that are not otherwise ineligible.

  • Organizations that want to offer accredited CME have two paths. The first is becoming an ACCME-accredited provider—a rigorous process that requires demonstrating the infrastructure, policies, and expertise to independently plan, deliver, and evaluate CME that meets ACCME standards. Once accredited, the organization has full control over its educational programming. The second option is joint providership, where an organization partners with an already-accredited provider to offer CME. In this model, the accredited provider assumes responsibility for ensuring compliance with ACCME standards, while the partner organization contributes content, funding, or logistical support. Joint providership is often the right choice for organizations that want to offer accredited education without building the internal infrastructure required for direct accreditation.
