The Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education’s (ACCME) new Standards for Integrity and Independence in Accredited Continuing Education became effective January 1, 2022. All future activities planned and implemented must comply with the new standards.

Additional information and resources can be found on the ACCME website (click here for accreditation rules, and here for resources).

The rules and resources will help you communicate the intent and importance of integrity and independence to your planners and faculty, and include videos, toolkit, transitional checklist and planning guide.

Reach out to your California Medical Association Continuing Medical Education staff at cme@cmadocs.org with any questions.
