International Accreditors
ACCME is among the first four organizations recognized by the World Federation for Medical Education (WFME)’s CPD Recognition Programme.
ACCME Recognized by World Federation for Medical Education
The World Federation for Medical Education (WFME) has launched its CPD Recognition Programme, a major step forward in strengthening the global quality of continuing professional development (CPD) for healthcare professionals. ACCME is among the first four accrediting bodies to receive WFME Recognition:
• Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME)
• European Board for Accreditation of Continuing Education for Health Professionals (EBAC)
• Accreditation Section of the Department of Healthcare Professions, Qatar Ministry of Public Health
• Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada
WFME Recognition signifies that these organizations meet a high level of independence, rigour, content validity, quality of design, and outcome measures, and that the quality of continuing medical education provided by their accredited providers is to an appropriate and rigorous standard.
Encouraging Broad Recognition
Licensing and regulatory authorities should consider recognizing CPD credits from WFME-recognized accrediting bodies to streamline relicensure and support a global approach to lifelong learning.
