Accreditation

The Brody School of Medicine at East Carolina University is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) to provide continuing medical education for physicians.

Accordingly, continuing medical education courses meet the criteria for AMA PRA Category 1 Credit™ toward the Physician’s Recognition Award of the American Medical Association.

Appropriate courses also qualify for recognition by various professional specialty associations such as the American Academy of Family Physicians or specialty credits, such as Maintenance of Certification.

The Office of Continuing Medical Education of the Brody School of Medicine at East Carolina University, located at Eastern Area Health Education Center, was reaccredited by the ACCME in 2022 and awarded Accreditation with Commendation through 2028. ACCME accreditation demonstrates that the continuing medical education provided is relevant to clinicians’ needs, evidence-based, evaluated for its effectiveness, and independent of commercial influence. Accreditation with Commendation pushes providers to achieve additional 8 criteria that advance interprofessional collaborative practice, address public health priorities, create behavioral change, show leadership, leverage educational technology, and demonstrate the impact of education on healthcare professionals and patients.
