How To Get ACCME Accreditation For CME?

To deliver accredited Continuing Medical Education (CME) you can submit an application and all associated fees to ACCME directly. This application process takes 12-18 months and costs tens of thousands of dollars. 

Another option is to work with an already-accredited provider through Joint Providership to receive the AMA PRA Category 1 Credit. This process will take a couple of weeks and will be far less expensive than applying to the ACCME directly.
