ACP receives distinguished recognition from ACCME
The Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) has awarded ACP Accreditation with Commendation, a distinction awarded to a small minority among 713 providers accredited by ACCME. ACP's new term of accreditation continues until March 31, 2016. ACCME's decision was based on a review of an ACP self-study report, evidence of performance-in-practice, and ACP's accreditation interview with two ACCME surveyors last October. In addition to meeting the requirements, ACCME commended ACP for demonstrating engagement in an environment supportive of quality improvement by facilitating physician learning. This is the second consecutive time ACP has received Accreditation with Commendation.
