Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education

GME Terminology

The ACCME accredits Continuing Medical Education offices to provide physicians and other healthcare practitioners across the country access to the answers they need to improve public health and patient care. Whether physicians work in clinical care, research, healthcare administration, or other areas of medicine, accredited CME is tailored to their needs and their patients’ needs. From national conferences in big cities to grand rounds in rural hospitals to just-in-time learning at the patient's bedside, accredited CME supports public health.
