CME Accreditation
The OSMA is pleased and proud to offer the service of voluntary accreditation to providers of continuing medical education who wish to be recognized for meeting our high level of quality. Such educational opportunities provide physicians with the ongoing knowledge and skills they need to provide their patients with optimum care. The OSMA is dedicated to maintaining its high level of service to providers and physicians in Ohio. Our hope is that this overview will provide information that will enable providers to make an informed decision about whether or not to pursue accreditation.
