CME ACCREDITATION
The Medical College of Georgia has been reviewed by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME®) and awarded accreditation with commendation as a provider of continuing medical education (CME) for physicians. Accreditation in the ACCME System seeks to assure the medical community and the public that Augusta University delivers education that is relevant to clinicians’ needs, evidence-based, evaluated for its effectiveness, and independent of commercial influence.
What is Accreditation with Commendation?
“Accreditation with Commendation” confers a six-year term of accreditation, rather than the standard four-year term. Less than 20 percent of ACCME providers receive commendation designation.
Why Accredited CME Matters
Accredited CME addresses every medical specialty, covering the full range of topics important to healthcare improvement. Whether physicians work in clinical care, research, healthcare administration, executive leadership, or other areas of medicine, accredited CME is designed to be relevant to their needs, practice-based, and effective.
Participation in accredited CME helps physicians meet requirements for maintenance of licensure, maintenance of certification, credentialing, membership in professional societies, and other professional privileges.
Physicians can count on accredited CME to provide a protected space for them to learn and teach without commercial influence.
Clinicians are expected to deliver safe, effective, cost-effective, compassionate care, based on best practice and evidence. Accredited CME helps make that happen.
