CME at UNE

The COM Department of Continuing Medical Education is one of a handful of providers in the country that holds the distinction of maintaining dual accreditation with the ACCME and the American Osteopathic Association (AOA). The Department of Continuing Medical Education also provides accreditation services for the American Academy of Family Physicians and has formed strategic partnerships to educate other members of the health care team.
We provide direct consultation to ensure your educational activity meets the highest level of AOA and ACCME compliance. Your program will receive direct support in the design of course materials, establishment of educational objectives, and design of comprehensive evaluation instruments.
