Mission of Southern Regional Area
Health Education Center CME Program
The Southern Regional AHEC CME
mission is to provide quality continuing medical
education in which content is based on the best
available evidence structured to meet the needs of
the nine county region’s physicians and other health
care professionals. This is accomplished through a
variety of learning experiences, including live
conferences, clinical discussion, enduring
materials, internet-based education, practice-based
improvement activities, and others as needed. The
expected results of the CME program are to maintain
and enhance competence and performance of physicians
in the nine county region, ultimately leading to
improved patient outcomes.
The educational activities of the CME
Program are provided to primary care physicians and
other health care professionals in the SR-AHEC
nine-county region. Although the activities are
targeted to primary care providers, content areas
are addressed which help build physician practice
capacity to cover specialty areas where a shortage
exists.
The Southern Regional AHEC is
accredited by the North Carolina Medical Society to provide continuing medical
education for physicians. All courses are
accredited for AMA PRA
Category 1 Credit ™.
The CME Program offers a variety of
formats for delivering CME, from one-time events to
performance improvement CME.
Are you interested in developing a
CME program for physicians?
SR-AHEC can help plan and implement the program,
either as a directly or jointly sponsored activity.
Please note the NCMS (North Carolina Medical
Society) standards are rigorous regarding academic
need and measurable outcomes. A submitted
application does not guarantee credit. The CME
staff will guide you through the application and
planning process to ensure that NCMS expectations
are met and to see if your proposed activity
qualifies for
AMA PRA Category 1 Credit™. Please
contact us at least two months prior to your
proposed activity, if interested in applying for CME
credit and to learn more about pricing/costs.
