The initial application process (for first-time applicants) is for organizations that provide CME for physicians and can take multiple months (usually 8-10). There are three major components of the application process:
- Self-Study Report: Your opportunity to tell your story, assess your role in providing CME, and analyze your current practices.
- Performance-in-Practice Review: Evidence for two recently completed activities that demonstrate the organization’s compliance.
- Accreditation Interview: A conversation with a team of volunteer surveyors to give space for questions and further information.
The complete initial accreditation process for the ACCME can be found here.
