About CME
Mission
The continuing medical education curricula address foremost the needs of practicing physicians in Oregon and the Pacific Northwest, although specific programs of regional and national appeal are included as particular needs are identified. Educational activities are developed for physicians in both general and specialty practice and may include conferences ranging from a half-day to several days in duration; internet programs; visiting professorships; mini-sabbaticals for physicians in practice; departmental series; conjoint conferences with community hospitals and other physician groups; publications; and promotion of independent learning. The Division of CME is the designated entity of the School of Medicine responsible for ensuring compliance with accreditation requirements and maintaining the educational quality and integrity of the School of Medicine CME program.
Accreditation
The School of Medicine, Oregon Health & Science University, is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) to provide continuing medical education for physicians.
