Does the ACCME require us to pay honoraria to outside experts that participate in our activities?
The ACCME does not outline compensation requirements for accredited providers--i.e., there is no policy that says you must pay anyone honoraria, nor how much must be paid. However, you need to ensure that any honoraria covered by commercial support is justifiable and complies with ACCME's Standard 4 guidelines.
We are partnering with a fellow accredited provider on an activity. Can we divide and conquer tasks?
You can assign the workload as you see fit; however, one accredited provider must take the lead on accreditation requirements. This provider will be listed in the direct providership statement, will track and retain learner data (attendance, credit claiming) and be responsible for reporting all activity details in PARS.
