Duke University Medical Center and Endovascular Institute, Inc. choose CMEO as the accredited joint sponsor for upcoming continuing medical education activities
Rockville, MD (PRWEB) June 1, 2005
CME Outfitters (CMEO) has been selected to provide accreditation services for the U. S. Department of State (http://www. state. gov (http://www. state. gov)). In association with the Duke University Medical Center's Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences (http://psychiatry. mc. duke. edu (http://psychiatry. mc. duke. edu)), which will share faculty and content development duties, CMEO will assume accredited provider responsibilities for an international series of CME symposia to educate clinicians in the employ of the State Department.
In another project, CMEO will enter into a joint sponsorship collaboration with The Endovascular Institute (http://www. endovascular-institute. com (http://www. endovascular-institute. com)) to provide accreditation services for a live symposium to be held in the summer of 2005. EVI develops quality educational programs for the endovascular community, serving the educational needs of professionals around the globe through operations in publishing, academia, and healthcare communications.
CMEO is a nationally recognized provider of multidisciplinary continuing education for healthcare professionals by the ACCME (http://www. accme. org (http://www. accme. org)), ACPE (http://www. acpe-accredit. org (http://www. acpe-accredit. org)), APA (http://www. apa. org (http://www. apa. org)), NYSNA/ANCC (http://www. nysna. org (http://www. nysna. org) / http://www. nursingworld. org/ancc (http://www. nursingworld. org/ancc)), and others. CMEO offers expert joint sponsorship and other educational, marketing, and production services for non-accredited education and training organizations.
CMEO realizes today's clinical environment is increasingly multidisciplinary in nature and therefore offers multiple types of CE credit based on each activity's target audience to ensure our educational partners achieve maximum audience reach for their CE activities.
CMEO also offers comprehensive outcomes evaluation research services. The company utilizes a 5-step, dual-strategy methodology for validating the impact of its educational activities on participant performance. The methodology uses a combination of clinical vignettes and successive follow-up surveys over a period of 3 months post-activity.
CMEO has assumed an increasingly visible role in shaping changes in the CME/CE field. In addition to strong relationships with multiple accrediting bodies, CME Outfitters is an engaged member of the Alliance for CME (http://www. acme-assn. org (http://www. acme-assn. org)) and the North American Association of Medical Education and Communication Companies (http://www. naamecc. org (http://www. naamecc. org)). The company's accreditation executives hold committee and faculty roles in these organizations and regularly attend national and regional conferences and workshops related to CME/CE. They also have extensive knowledge of accreditation and other regulatory guidelines impacting today's CME/CE Industry (FDA, PhRMA Code, OIG).
Through these efforts, CME Outfitters has earned a reputation for serving the public interest by developing evidence-based, fair balanced CME activities, and will continue to be an authoritative and respected voice in support of bias-free educational programming.
