Partnering with the Academy means you have a group of experts on your team whose focus is providing impactful education in the evolving world of continuing education.

About

History and Background

The American Academy of CME, Inc. (Academy), headquartered in Jackson, NJ, was founded in 2001 by a nurse and a pharmacist.

The Academy is an independent, not-for-profit education foundation. Both on our own and in collaboration with accredited and non-accredited continuing education companies, healthcare professional associations, foundations, and other organizations, the Academy provides accredited continuing education (CE) interventions to healthcare professionals and teams including physicians, nurse practitioners, physician assistants/associates, nurses, pharmacists, dentists and other team members. 

Mission

The mission of the American Academy of CME, Inc. (Academy)—a not-for-profit educational foundation—is to improve patient health by adding value to healthcare professionals and healthcare teams through our accredited continuing education offerings.

We achieve our mission by holding true to our core values:

  • PURSUE EXCELLENCE — We are committed to delivering the highest quality continuing education, understanding that our work directly influences healthcare professionals and their teams, ultimately impacting patient health. Excellence in all we do is non-negotiable.
  • COMMITMENT TO CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT — As a team of dedicated educators, we embrace a culture of lifelong learning, constantly seeking to grow and enhance our skills and evolve our processes based on new data, information, and implementation science protocols to better serve our learners and the healthcare community.
  • EMBRACE ENTREPRENEURIAL SPIRIT — We recognize the dynamic nature of the healthcare landscape and take proactive steps to identify emerging challenges and explore potential solutions that deliver significant value to our learners.
  • ADOPT A SELF-OWNERSHIP MENTALITY — We are a collective of team members, not just employees. Each team member takes personal responsibility and ownership, fostering a sense of stewardship and accountability in big things as well as small to promote the organization’s success.
  • SHARE SUCCESSES AND SUPPORT EACH OTHER — We celebrate our achievements and recognize that when one of us carries a heavy load, we step in to provide support. The strength of our team lies in our solidarity and collaboration.
  • COLLABORATE WITH LIKE-MINDED PARTNERS — We understand that no single organization has all the answers in today’s complex environment. We actively seek partnerships with individuals and organizations that share our values, fostering collaboration that drives mutual success.

Philosophy on Collaborations

The Academy is committed to upholding the highest standards of excellence in CE for the healthcare team and its members. The Academy ensures that all CE initiatives we accredit are of the highest quality and are balanced, independent, objective, and scientifically rigorous.

The Academy accepts requests to partner with other organizations—including continuing education companies, healthcare professional associations, governmental agencies, foundations, and publishers. We take a collaborative approach to program planning, implementation, and evaluation with the goal of forming truly successful partnerships with our education partners.

Requests to jointly provide CE activities with the Academy must be submitted in writing to the Academy. Once received, a member of our team will contact you to set up a call when we can speak about your organization’s needs and how the Academy might meet them.

Additionally, the Academy requires a potential education partner to complete and submit Academy Policy 2.1 – Potential Educational Partner Attestation Form in order to document the organization’s corporate structure, mission, organizational chart (incorporating the staff’s reporting structure), and relationships with any parent/sister organizations (if any). This document enables us to establish that the potential partner is not an ineligible company (a joint provider may not be an ineligible company). An ineligible company is defined as an organization “whose primary business is producing, marketing, selling, re-selling, or distributing healthcare products used by or on patients.” Submission of this form is the first step in the process of potential collaboration.
