Continuing Education

The ACGME offers a variety of continuing education courses and activities designed to be informative, collaborative, and interactive. These programs provide opportunities to learn from distinguished faculty members, experts, and colleagues in the graduate medical education (GME) community.

The ACGME Department of Education’s philosophy for continuing education can be summed up as: “Wherever learning occurs, reward it!” The Office of Continuing Education is committed to providing continuing professional development for physician-educators and other GME professionals in furtherance of the ACGME Mission. The Office of Continuing Education is dedicated to developing, delivering, and evaluating high-quality educational experiences. Activities are designed to provide learners with the tools needed to advance excellence in GME and to facilitate improvement in their competence, performance, and/or patient outcomes. The Office of Continuing Education facilitates the development, implementation, and assessment of educational activities that comply with the Criteria and Standards of the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME). The goal of the continuing education program is to provide the community with educational activities geared to the needs of the learner and that enhance knowledge, skills, and patient care.
