CME “Mission Critical”

CME activities are linked to Quality and Safety and are:

• Effective in Improving Practice
• Based on Valid Content
• Independent of Commercial Interests

The Children's Hospital is pleased to provide compliant CME activities that meet “Mission Critical” as defined above by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME).

What is Continuing Medical Education?

Continuing medical education consists of educational activities which serve to maintain, develop, or increase the knowledge, skills, and professional performance and relationships that a physician uses to provide services for patients, the public, or the profession. The content of CME is that body of knowledge and skills generally recognized and accepted by the profession as within the basic medical sciences, the discipline of clinical medicine, and the provision of health care to the public.

CME Mission Statement

The Continuing Medical Education Mission of The Children’s Hospital is to identify continuing educational needs of community and regional physicians caring for children and to provide continuing medical education activities that will enhance and advance the pediatric knowledge and clinical skills of participating physicians along the continuum from primary/ambulatory care to emergency and critical care.
