CME has been shown to be one of the most effective methods for improving physician performance (1).
Unnecessary medical procedures, prescriptions, and hospital readmissions are averted (2,3).
CME has been linked to a decrease in physician burnout and turnover. Physicians thrive through meaningful work and feedback tied to their own practice (4,5,6).
Commercial influence in medical education puts learners at increased risk (7). Accreditation protects the integrity and independence of medical education, ensuring it is accurate and based on best practices (8,9).
Interprofessional teams are empowered to work more effectively together to achieve their organization’s quality improvement and strategic goals (10).
Accredited CME has a proven track record of life-saving interventions. It has been linked to increases in stroke identification, timeliness of care, cancer screenings, pediatric immunizations, and more (11,12).
