Educational Needs

The provider incorporates into CME activities the educational needs (knowledge, competence, or performance) that underlie the professional practice gaps of their own learners. (formerly Criterion 2)

ACCME Note

The accredited provider addresses, through its CME activities, problems in practice and/or patient care. As part of that effort, the provider examines those problems and looks for knowledge, strategy, skill, performance, or system deficits that could be contributing to the problems. By doing so, the provider is able to plan and implement education that will effectively address the problems.
