About CME

PROGRAM  DESCRIPTION

The Office of Continuing Medical Education is the School of Medicine's primary resource for the education of physicians throughout the Oregon and Northwest practice community.

Nearly 100 activities are offered each year to address the educational needs of generalist and specialist physicians and other health care practitioners. Programs are developed and led by OHSU faculty and range from the five-day Primary Care Review to the individualized Physician Re-Entry Program.  There are computer-based activities, didactic courses and others featuring simulation labs, small group learning or one-on-one training.  The full spectrum of medical disciplines is represented.

The Office's overall program is dynamic, but the focus is on curricula designed to help physicians and other health professionals identify and implement practice changes that will improve their care of patients.

The Office of CME is also responsible for ensuring compliance with accreditation requirements and maintaining the educational quality and integrity of the School of Medicine's continuing medical education program.
