Hospitals

Whether state- or nationally-accredited, AOE understands the unique challenges and opportunities that exist for CME/CE departments within the hospital and healthcare setting. AOE helps navigate obstacles associated with human and financial resources, access to data, demonstrating quality improvement, as well as competing needs for educating your institution’s own medical staff.

Medical Specialty Societies & Associations

AOE has a proven track record in documenting measured education needs among members, overseeing compliance across annual meeting sessions, and providing continuity management across committees with term limits. In addition, AOE’s team is well-versed in Maintenance of Certification (MOC) requirements set forth by the American Board of Medical Specialties (ABMS) and synergies that exist with CME/CE requirements. For societies and associations where accredited continuing education is core to their mission, AOE offers tailored association management services and has a track record of helping organizations grow and realize greater financial success.

Medical Education Companies

AOE knows how Medical Education Companies are different from other CME/CE providers. Whether its best practices in collaboration, streamlined processes tied to joint providership, or compliance with managing firewalls between sister and/or parent organizations, AOE’s consultants provide expertise garnered from work with both for-profit and not-for-profit medical education companies.

Academic Medical Centers

AOE helps academic departments define and deliver CME/CE excellence. We work with you to address professional practice gaps associated with the translation of research to practice, collaborate across schools and colleges to meet inter-professional education needs and streamline education planning, advance strategic plans set at the institution level, and construct learning from teaching programs and medical student mentorship activities.

CME/CE Professionals

Whether working directly with CME/CE professionals or through work with an employees’ CME/CE department, AOE advances the professional development of CME/CE professionals. AOE offers both standing and customized professional development trainings for CME/CE professionals, including preparation and study materials for the CHCP Exam. As well, we offer numerous training and supporting educational materials for the CME/CE professionals employed by the organizations with which we work. Training is a significant component of what sets AOE apart.
