The ACCME is grateful for the contributions of its many volunteers to the accreditation process and the maintenance of excellence in the accreditation system.
To show its gratitude, and recognize those volunteers that exhibit exemplary service, ACCME periodically grants the following awards:
The ACCME is only successful in its mission because of its dedicated volunteers (Board members, committee members, surveyors), partners in accreditation (the Recognized Accreditors), and accredited providers. Our annual acknowledgment of volunteers pays special tribute to those volunteers who have demonstrated exemplary and long-term service to the ACCME through our (a) service awards, and (b) recognition for the completion of surveys.
