Will I receive an alert that it’s time to apply for ACCME reaccreditation?
If you are listed in PARS as your organization's designated primary contact, you will receive notification from the ACCME. The ACCME will ONLY alert the individual listed as the primary contact. Once notified, complete the Confirmation of Intent form (also in PARS) to confirm your organization will pursue reaccreditation and continue to follow the ACCME's Criteria, Standards for Integrity and Independence, and policies. You can read more about the reaccreditation process here.
What are some best practices for developing an accredited CE video that will be posted online AND on social media?
The ACCME offers five steps to maintain the integrity of your CE in this situation:
- "Nest all required information, such as disclosure of the presence or absence of relevant financial relationships, accreditation statement, disclosure of the source of commercial support (where applicable) within any video content itself (where it is less likely to be separated from the descriptive copy around a video).
- Include contact information for the accredited provider within the content itself so that a learner with questions may contact you directly if they encounter the material in or on an unexpected site.
- Include language regarding copyright and your requirements for reproduction of the material directly within the content.
- Have a mechanism in place to request removal of previously posted materials on reasonable request from the content owners or authors who perceive that their intellectual property rights have been undermined.
- For activities designed for and hosted on social media platforms, the accredited provider has a mechanism in place to protect the learning environment from interference by owners/employees of ineligible companies. One way this has been accomplished is with the use of private invite-only groups within an online or social media platform."
