CE and CME
Continuing Education for Healthcare Professionals.
Continuing Medical Education (CME) and Continuing Education (CE) courses are crucial for healthcare professionals to maintain competence and stay updated with advancements in their field. These courses enhance knowledge, skills, and professional performance, ultimately improving patient care and community service. In the United States, accreditation for these courses is provided by recognised bodies such as the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) for doctors, the American Nurses Credentialing Centre (ANCC) for nurses, and the American Dental Association (ADA) for dentists. These organisations ensure that CME and CE programmes meet rigorous standards and contribute effectively to the professional development of healthcare providers.
