Our goal is to provide physicians and other health care professionals
with high quality educational experiences. Continuing medical education
is defined by the American Medical Association (AMA) and the Accreditation
Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) as:
"educational
activities that serve to maintain, develop, or increase the knowledge,
skills, and professional performance and relationships a physician
uses to provide services for patients, the public, or the profession.
The content of CME is that body of knowledge and skills generally
accepted by the profession as within the basic medical sciences,
the discipline of clinical medicine, and the provision of healthcare
to the public".
During the past fiscal year, over 40,000 physicians and other healthcare professionals attended live conferences, grand rounds, completed enduring materials and internet activities. Close to 100 activities and 40 grand rounds were sponsored.
The
University of Arizona College of Medicine at the Arizona Health Sciences Center
has fulfilled the accreditation requirements set forth by the Accreditation Council
for Continuing Medical Education and is hereby accredited as a provider of continuing
medical education for physicians.
Since the University of Arizona College of Medicine opened its doors to the first

health of Arizonans through its commitment to education, research, outreach and patient care.
