What can we help you find?
The Winter Getting Started with Joint Accreditation Workshop will be Friday, February 21, from 10 – 2 pm CT. Although primarily for organizations in the initial stages of the application process and organizations that are considering applying for Joint Accreditation, this is also an excellent learning opportunity for new staff at organizations that area already jointly accredited.
This virtual workshop will provide an overview of the benefits of Joint Accreditation, the application process, eligibility requirements, and Joint Accreditation criteria. Participants will have an opportunity to ask any questions they have for Joint Accreditation staff.
Registration fee is $235 per person. For more information, including registration details, please click here. Registration deadline is 5 pm CT Thursday, Feb. 20. Questions? Email [email protected]. This event will be held again on Friday, September 26, 2025. Click here for more information.
Congratulations to the following organizations that are newly accredited or that received Accreditation with Commendation!
Newly Accredited – Joint Accreditation
Accreditation with Commendation
We asked jointly accredited providers, and organizations interested in Joint Accreditation, for input on ways to enhance your community and your practice. Based on your feedback, we have developed a new schedule of education opportunities for 2025.
The Getting Started with Joint Accreditation Workshop will be offered twice in 2025 – February 21 and September 26. Both workshops will be virtual and are designed for organizations exploring Joint Accreditation for the first time, and for new staff at organizations already jointly accredited. If you can’t make it next week, mark your calendar for the September event.
The Joint Accreditation Leadership Summit will be presented virtually again this year. We moved up the date from September to June 2025 to more closely align it with ACCME’s Learn to Thrive conference. In 2026 we will gather in person for the 2026 Leadership Summit, which will be conducted in conjunction with Learn to Thrive, which is scheduled for May 6-8, 2026, in Chicago.
Finally, the 2025 Joint Accreditation Provider virtual webinar Dec. 8 – our last opportunity of the year for jointly accredited providers and those actively working toward Joint Accreditation to get the latest updates and start planning for the year ahead. We look forward to seeing you at one or more of these events!

Thank you for helping to make the inaugural Healthcare Continuing Education Professionals Day a success! Celebrated on Jan. 24, accredited providers throughout the Joint Accreditation and Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education generated awareness of the importance of their teams through social posts (#CEProfessionalsDay), in-house celebrations, newsletter articles, and letters of congratulation from senior leadership.
Joint Accreditation and ACCME social media throughout the month of January generated unprecedented engagement, with posts exceeding 17,000 impressions and 2,000 engagements. How did you celebrate? Tell us how by sending an email to [email protected] with Healthcare CE Professionals Day Celebration in the subject line.
COMPLIANCE CHECK: ARE YOU COLLECTING THE RIGHT INFORMATION FOR DISCLOSURES?
Disclosures are essential to maintaining the independence of accredited continuing education. Whether or not your planners or faculty believe their financial relationships are relevant to your educational activity, it’s essential that they disclose to you ALL relationships they have had with ineligible companies over the past 24 months. In accordance with JA Criterion (JAC 12c), individuals must disclose regardless of their view of the relevance of the relationship to the education.
Planners, faculty, and all others in control of content may not have the full context or ability to accurately assess the relevance of their financial relationships with ineligible companies. They need to disclose to you all financial relationships with ineligible companies and not just those that they believe are relevant to the content of the CE activity. Then, you, as the accredited provider, decide if the relationships are relevant or not.
Accreditation Tips
We recognize that sometimes planners and faculty do not understand why you are asking them to disclose their financial relationships or what you’re asking them to disclose. To help you explain, the ACCME has created this brief video for clinician educators. It describes the important role those in control of content play in protecting the integrity of accredited continuing education. As you plan educational activities, we encourage you to share it with your planners, faculty speakers, authors, and reviewers. Learn more.
We invite you to share your scholarly contributions to Interprofessional Continuing Education (IPCE)! Whether you’ve published an article, presented a poster, or led a session highlighting innovative IPCE practices, we want to showcase your work.
Your scholarship helps advance the field by demonstrating the value and impact of IPCE on healthcare teams and patient outcomes. By sharing your research, case studies, or best practices, you contribute to a growing body of knowledge that strengthens interprofessional collaboration and education.
If you have recent publications, presentations, or posters related to IPCE, we’d love to feature them. Please submit your work to [email protected]. Thank you for your contributions to the IPCE community!
