AMDA Policy on Joint Sponsorship
AMDA is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical
Education (ACCME) to sponsor continuing medical education for physicians. ACCME accreditation permits AMDA to jointly
sponsor continuing medical education (CME) programs developed by organizations that are not ACCME accredited. Currently, AMDA
limits its policy on joint sponsorship of live programs to AMDA state chapters, non-profit organizations whose
mission and goals reflect AMDA’s mission and goals, and for profit organizations that are involved with AMDA by contract in a
collaborative project in support of physician education in the long term care continuum and who seek to provide CME credits for
their educational meetings. Joint sponsorship does not extend to enduring materials.
AMDA will consider joint sponsor for state chapter programs and other organizations provided that all processes comply with ACCME Essentials and Standards, with the provisions of the AMA Physician’s
Recognition Awards and American Medical Association ethical guidelines on Gifts to Physicians, as well as with the standards and requirements of AMDA’s
Education Committee. In addition, applications for programs that are submitted for credit toward the designation of Certified
Medical Director must meet the requirements of the American Medical Directors Certification Program (AMDCP).
