U.S. Supreme Court preserves right to sue to enforce state compliance with Medicaid requirements

May 24, 2021
Area(s) of Interest: Continuing Medical Education (CME)

The California Medical Association’s (CMA) continuing medical education (CME) team is pleased to announce that in a recent audit, we were deemed 100% equivalent across the board with accreditation decisions by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME).

CMA accredits CME providers in California, Alaska, Oregon and Nevada. Equivalency with ACCME means that CMA is helping to achieve the goal of equivalency in CME across the country.
