The American Academy of Continuing Medical Education (AACME) mission is to promote global excellence in public health, by defining, reviewing, and publicizing CME standards related to CME structure, process and outcome; measuring healthcare organization’s CME performance against the AACME’s peer-set standards; enhancing the knowledge of physicians and health care professionals through the highest level of accreditation standards for continuing medical education programs (CME) that are vital for their ongoing knowledge and skills they need to provide their patients and communities with optimum care and which will assist them in understanding the disease mechanism, diagnosis, and treatments.

We achieve our mission through a voluntary self-regulated system for accrediting CME providers and a peer-review process responsive to changes in medical education and the health care delivery system worldwide.
