What can we help you find?
Simplify the accreditation process and deliver interprofessional continuing education (IPCE) programs by seeking joint accreditation.
Accreditation ensures the rigor of your continuing education programs — but seeking multiple accreditations adds layers and layers of complexity. And all that complexity takes additional time, resources, and experience to unravel.
That’s why our three founding accreditation organizations — ANCC, ACPE, and ACCME — joined together to offer one path to joint accreditation for all of your interprofessional continuing education programs for health professionals.
Learn about the Accreditation Process
Joint accreditation lets you gain the benefits of increased efficiency and program quality while reducing excess headaches for you and your team.
Instead of managing multiple accreditation cycles and criteria sets, joint accreditation lets you align and earn multiple IPCE accreditations simultaneously.
With less operational complexity comes more time for what matters and an enhanced focus on the efficacy of your IPCE programs.
The interprofessional element of joint accreditation drives your organization towards CE programs proven to be more effective.
Joint accreditation lets you award IPCE credits to a growing number of health professionals and grow your institution.
Organizations that practice IPCE have a 25% higher retention.
Promote collaboration, teamwork, and interprofessional continuing education for all of your health professionals.
Joint accreditation helps you save time — and it also promotes interprofessional CE, which is tied to better outcomes for you, your programs, and your patients.
