Do I need to modify our accreditation statement and other materials to replace “continuing medical education” with “continuing education”?
No changes have been made to the Accreditation Statement or the Accreditation Statement Policy. The ACCME has chosen to use the term accredited continuing education in the Standards for Integrity and Independence in Accredited Continuing Education to be inclusive of all health professions. There is no expectation that providers will change their terminology. You may continue to use the terms "continuing medical education" or "CME" as appropriate.
