Can we apply for Commendation even if it’s our first time applying for Initial Accreditation?

Initial applicants for ACCME Accreditation are not eligible for Accreditation with Commendation.  Providers should note, also, that compliance with the menu of commendation criteria is optional for CME providers and is not required to achieve accreditation.
