The educational mission of the medical school targets medical students, post graduate trainees and practicing physicians. This is consonant with the philosophy that education is a continuing process throughout a professional career. The purpose of Continuing Medical Education is to optimize patient care and maintain and improve physician competency by means of offering high quality learning experiences for physicians. The activities offered permit physicians to fulfill CME requirements for re-licensure, maintenance of certification, hospital privileges, and medical or specialty society membership.
The School of Medicine’s continuing education program is accredited with commendation by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education. Through its Office of Continuing Medical Education (OCME), we provide, co-provide or jointly provide Continuing Medical Education (CME) activities including regularly scheduled conferences, courses and enduring materials. The methods of instruction are varied to offer different types of learning experiences, appealing to diverse and individual learning styles and practice setting requirements. They include live conferences; interactive audio, video, and electronic programs; self-study materials and hands-on training, e.g., procedural skills training, simulations, standardized patients.
