Welcome to the CME Section Web site!
Who is it for?
This site is intended for those who plan and design programs for
practicing clinicians, staff physicians, faculty members, and many
more. Interested in quality improvement, clinical outcomes, faculty
development, performance measurement and improvement, health services
and related research? This site is for you.
What is it about?
Partly a portal, partly a resource, the site is focused on moving
CME from a purely conference-based model to one which employs best
educational and quality principles to close the clinical care gap.
It is linked to our colleagues in the GEA's sections on UME, GME,
and RIME, elsewhere across the AAMC, and beyond. Please feel free
to use this site, give us your feedback, provide us with other links
and resources, and send the link to others. Please direct your comments,
questions, and suggestions to Oswald Umuhoza at oumuhoza@aamc.org.
For more about the CME Section itself, please visit the CME
Section Mission Statement and Rules and Regulations.
