What can we help you find?
Publish Your Research and Insights
Jointly accredited providers are encouraged to share their research, innovations, and practical insights with the broader continuing education and interprofessional community. Publishing does not require a randomized, placebo-controlled trial or complex research infrastructure. Many peer‑reviewed journals welcome descriptive reports, case studies, program evaluations, quality improvement initiatives, and lessons learned from practice, making publication far more accessible than it may initially seem. Sharing your experiences—what worked, what you learned, and how your activity advanced interprofessional continuing education—can make a meaningful contribution to the field while helping others learn from your efforts. Publication is an opportunity to tell your story, not a reason to be intimidated. Several journals that align well with the work of jointly accredited providers include: Journal of Continuing Education in the Health Professions Journal of CME Journal of Continuing Education in Nursing Journal of Interprofessional Care Journal of Interprofessional Education and Practice In addition, Joint Accreditation staff may be willing to help or collaborate on publication efforts, depending on the circumstances. If you are interested in publishing but are unsure where to start, have questions about suitability, or would like to explore potential collaboration, you are encouraged to reach out to [email protected] for guidance and support. We are happy to help!
