Program of CME

Definition of a Program of CME (00-03-G)

Accreditation is granted on the basis of the provider's demonstrated ability to plan and implement CME activities in accordance with the Essential Areas, Elements, and Policies. The provider's overall program may include occasional CME activities, that do not fully meet the standards for needs assessment, well-defined objectives, curriculum design, and evaluation. These activities are part of the accredited provider's overall CME program as long as the Provider exercises responsibility for these activities through its recognized CME administrative unit. The organization should identify those CME activities within its overall program which meet the Essential Areas, Elements, and Policies.
