CME Sponsor Accreditation

 

 Announcement

 

Please note that the rule for 50% faculty or 50% time presentation by osteopathic faculty has been reduced to 30% as a pilot that will be monitored and reviewed during the 2010-2012 CME cycle. This change is based on a recommendation from the Education Policies and Procedures Review Committee III.

The AOA's continuing medical education (CME) program strives for growth of knowledge, refinement of skills, and the deepening of understanding for the osteopathic profession. The AOA Board of Trustees establishes accreditation policy for osteopathic CME sponsors. The Council on Continuing Medical Education (CCME) has been delegated authority by the AOA Board of Trustees to monitor osteopathic CME and to grant or deny Category 1 accreditation status to osteopathic CME sponsors.

In addition, the AOA approved those Category 1 CME Sponsors having recognized specialty and/or sub-specialty certificate holders numbering less than 250 members the ability to satisfy a portion of their AOA Category 1-A CME requirement using ACCME Category 1 credits. This policy will sunset in 2016. Following are physician totals by Specialty/Subspecialty:
