The Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education defines CME as:
Continuing Medical Education consists of education activities that 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 of 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.
A broad definition of CME, such as the one found above, recognizes that all continuing educational activities that assist physicians in carrying out their professional responsibilities more effectively and efficiently are CME. A course in management would be appropriate CME for physicians responsible for managing a health care facility; a course in practice management would be appropriate CME for physician practitioners interested in providing better service to patients.
Not all continuing educational activites that physicians may engage in are CME. Physicians may participate in worthwhile continuing education activities that are not related directly to their professional work, and these activities are not CME. Continuing education activities that respond to a physician's non-professional educational need or interest, such as personal financial planning, appreciate of literature or music or parent effectiveness are not CME.
Questions – Contact the CME office at 317-338-3460.
St. Vincent Hospital and the Indiana State Medical Association define joint providership as the providership of a CME activity by one accredited and one nonaccredited organization. Accredited providers that plan and present one or more activities win nonaccreddited providers are engaging in "joint providership." The partnership does not intend to imply that a joint providership relationship is an actual legal partnership.
The accredited provider must take responsibility for a CME activity when it is presented in cooperation with a nonaccredited organization and ensure compliance of the activity.
The accredited provider must inform the learner of the joint providership relationship through the use of the appropriate accreditation statement, disclosure statement, and designation statement. All printed materials for joint provider activities must carry the appropriate accreditation statement and logo of St. Vincent Hospital.
St. Vincent Hospital does charge a fee for this type of arrangement.
St. Vincent Hospital expects all CME activities to be in compliance with the ISMA/ACCME accreditation requirements. In cases of joint providership, it is the accredited provider's responsibility to be able to demonstrate through written documentation this compliance to the ISMA.
Note that if a joint provider activity is found to be in Noncompliance with ISMA/ACCME's content validation policies or policies for disclosure and commercial support, the accredited provider in the relationship may be asked to provide one or more monitoring progress reports related to the issue. Similarly, special requirements exist for accredited providers that jointly provider activities with nonaccredited organizations that have a history of joint provider activities that do not comply with ISMA/ACCME's content validation policies or policies for disclosure and commercial support. We will not consider a partnership if noncompliance issues have been uncovered from past activities.
