April is National Minority Health Month 💙

It’s a time to recognize the importance of health equity and the need to ensure that everyone—regardless of background, culture, or community—has access to high-quality care and opportunities for better health.

At ACCME, we’re committed to supporting education that helps clinicians deliver more equitable, inclusive care and address disparities that impact minority populations every day.

Medical dramas like The Pitt capture the intensity of patient care.

In real life, physicians rely on something just as powerful: continuous learning.

During National Physicians Week, we recognize the physicians who commit to improving care every day—and the continuing education community that supports them.

Accredited CE/CME is changing how learning shows up in real patient care. According to the 2024 ACCME Data Report, most accredited CE/CME activities now measure whether education leads to real-world improvement:

✔️ 95% assess clinician competence
✔️ 46% assess performance in practice
✔️ 18% assess patient health outcomes

That’s the value of accredited CE/CME: education designed not just to inform, but to improve practice and outcomes. Source: ACCME 2024 Data Report

Our Story

The Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME®) is a nonprofit organization based in Chicago, responsible for accrediting organizations that offer continuing medical education, creating a framework that supports, inspires, and motivates educators to achieve their full potential. We set the standards for education that accelerates learning, change, and growth in healthcare. Our standards reflect the values of our educator community and respond to the evolving healthcare environment. As a result, clinicians and teams can drive improvement in their practice and optimize the care, health, and wellness of their patients.

Every day clinicians can choose from more than 3,000 hours of accredited CME. Accredited CME offers clinicians, educators, and health leaders the power and capacity to address many of the challenges we face in our changing healthcare environment.

Our community of more than 1,800 CME providers offers physicians and healthcare teams an array of resources to promote quality, safety, and the evolution of healthcare.

We accredit organizations in the US and around the world. Accredited CME providers represent a range of organizations from national physician membership organizations to rural hospitals. Some specialize in local, community-based health issues, others focus on national and international health priorities, and others advance interprofessional continuing education (IPCE) and team-based care.
