Continuing Medical Education Providers Offer More Than 148,000 Educational Activities for Physicians and Teams Where They Live, Work, and Learn

The Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME®) is pleased to announce the release of our ACCME 2015 Annual Report. The report includes data from a community of nearly 1,900 accredited continuing medical education (CME) providers across the country that offer physicians and healthcare teams an array of resources to promote quality, safety, and the evolution of healthcare.

CME providers in the ACCME System offered more than 148,000 educational activities in 2015, comprising more than one million hours of instruction. These activities included nearly 26 million interactions with physicians and other healthcare professionals. The numbers of activities, hours of instruction, and participants have increased since 2014. The number of CME activities has increased an average of 3% each year since 2010.

Accredited CME providers offer a range of online and face-to-face educational activities, giving healthcare professionals access to efficient, relevant, and engaging opportunities for lifelong learning. As this report demonstrates, CME providers design and evaluate activities for meaningful change in participants’ skills, performance, and patient health outcomes.

“This report shows that accredited CME is evolving constantly to meet the needs of new generations of learners and to address emerging healthcare challenges. The numbers in this report represent our CME providers’ ongoing work and commitment to improving the quality and safety of healthcare in their communities. I am hopeful that review of this Annual Report can help healthcare leaders recognize the strategic power of education to drive change and create collaborative communities, and the returns that can be derived from support for and investment in skill development training for healthcare professionals,” saidGraham McMahon, MD, MMSc, President and CEO, ACCME.
