Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education

The Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) is an organization that sets standards to ensure doctors engage in high-quality ongoing education. Its goal is to help physicians stay current with the latest medical knowledge and skills, ultimately improving patient care. The ACCME accredits organizations that provide these educational activities, ensuring they meet rigorous criteria for effectiveness and integrity. This process helps verify that continuing medical education (CME) programs are relevant, evidence-based, and objective, supporting doctors in maintaining their licenses and delivering safe, effective healthcare.
