The Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) is a nonprofit organization responsible for accrediting institutions that provide continuing medical education (CME) for healthcare professionals. Its primary goal is to ensure that CME activities meet high standards of quality and relevance, ultimately improving patient care and outcomes. ACCME sets criteria and guidelines that accredited providers must follow to deliver effective educational programs. By maintaining these standards, the ACCME helps ensure that healthcare professionals receive up-to-date knowledge and skills necessary for their practice, fostering lifelong learning in the medical field.
