ACCME Accreditation

In its last survey by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME), AAPM was accredited to provide continuing medical education (CME) to physicians. AAPM was awarded Accreditation with Commendation as a provider of continuing medical education for physicians. This is the highest accreditation awarded by the ACCME.

More About Accreditation

The AAPM committee year runs from Annual Meeting to Annual Meeting. The chairs, members, and charges for each committee are determined in the months preceding the Annual Meeting, at the direction of the incoming president.

Members interested in serving on an AAPM committee are urged to get involved in the Academy by attending the Annual Meeting, submitting an abstract for a scientific session or poster for the Annual Meeting, submitting a manuscript to the Pain Medicine journal and/or joining a Shared Interest Group (SIG).

To request to be considered for a future committee role, please send an email detailing your interests along with a current CV.

About ACCME

ACCME accredits organizations that offer continuing medical education, creating a framework that supports, inspires, and motivates educators to achieve their full potential. The council rewards providers that:

  • Participate as strategic partners in quality initiatives within their institution, health system, or community through collaborative alliances
  • Implement educational strategies to remove, overcome or address barriers to physician change
  • Integrate CME into the process for improving professional practice.

The goal of this council is to encourage and reward accredited CME providers like AAPM for implementing best practices in pedagogy, engagement, evaluation, and change management, and for focusing on generating meaningful outcomes.
