formulate responses to the ACCME’s calls for comment regarding a proposed policy
to support independence in CME. For more information regarding this topic, you

Responses to the ACCME Summer 2008 Call for Comments
On October 20, 2008,
the ACCME published the responses it received from various stakeholders in the
CME community. These comments can be viewed on the ACCME site at
Responses to Call for Comments*
* Please note that
the response files are large--especially the responses from organizations--and
may take a long time to download.
Part of the
mission of TACME, as stated in our organization bylaws is to: “2.) review and
recommend, on behalf of Texas CME providers, any proposals and/or revisions of
the CME regulations.”
Thank you to all of you that participated in the “HOT TOPICS” session and voiced
your opinion about these issues. Your comments are welcome.
