Activities may be developed to award credit for multiple healthcare professions, including physicians, nurses, pharmacists, dentists, and other members of the healthcare team.

Planning Process:

We encourage you to contact the Office of Continuing Professional Education (CPE) at the earliest stages of the planning process to ensure alignment with Joint Accreditation criteria, including interprofessional collaboration, independence, and outcomes-based education.
