AMDA Receives Four-Year Re-accreditation
AMDA has received four-year re-accreditation for
continuing medical education by the Accreditation Council for
Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) effective April 2004 through March
2008.
AMDA's education program received "Exemplary
Compliance" notations for needs assessment process and for
"...innovative and creative mechanisms that include a list of 10-point
criteria used to measure the effectiveness of its overall CME program
with evidence that improvements are made on a regular basis."

At AMDA's recent accreditation interview, surveyors from the
Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME)
expressed deep concern regarding incomplete and missing Joint
Sponsorship documentation. AMDA's Education Committee has responded by
voting to strictly enforce the AMDA requirements for submitting a Joint Sponsorship application.
Applicants are required to submit all requested
documentation along with the completed Joint Sponsorship application at
least 30 days in advance of their first scheduled course promotion.
Staff has been directed that if this cannot be done, the application
for Joint Sponsorship must be denied. This adherence, or lack thereof,
to ACCME Joint Sponsorship requirements is crucial as it affects AMDA's
ability to stay accredited for its national education programs.
