The University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine is accredited
by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Education (ACCME) to
provide continuing medical education for physicians. Accreditation
status may also be verified at the ACCME
website.
In order to maintain compliance with ACCME policies and procedures
including the Standards for Commercial Support, we have developed
processes which we follow to certify all programs.
If you are seeking AMA PRA category 1 credit or CEU’s for
the following types of activities, we ask that you contact us early
in the planning process and prior to any marketing activities or
curriculum development:
Formal courses of any length
Series activities or grand rounds

Once you contact us, we will arrange a telephone planning meeting
with CCEHS administration. This telephone call will enable us to
ascertain the needs assessment and planning requirements necessary
to provide certification for the activity. We will ask about objectives,
intent of the program, objectives, faculty and budget assumptions.
This call also provides us the opportunity to explain the processes
