Our vision is a world where our community of educators supports clinicians in delivering optimal healthcare for all. Our mission is to assure and advance quality learning for healthcare professionals that drives improvements in patient care. The Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME®), a nonprofit organization founded in 1981, accredits 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.
