AMDA Policy on Joint SponsorshipThe American Medical Directors Association (AMDA) is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) to sponsor continuing medical education for physicians. ACCME accreditation also permits AMDA to jointly sponsor continuing medical education programs developed by organizations that are not ACCME accredited. Currently, AMDA limits its policy on joint sponsorship of live programs to working with AMDA state chapters, non-profit organizations whose mission and goals reflect AMDA’s missions 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 fulfilling the role of joint sponsor for state chapter programs and other organizations at the discretion of AMDA provided that all processes comply with all ACCME Essentials and Standards, with the provisions of the AMA Physician’s Recognition Awards and AMA 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).
