Accreditation

ACHL has been awarded Accreditation from the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME).

The Academy for Continued Healthcare Learning (ACHL) has been reviewed by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME®) and awarded Accreditation with Commendation for six years as a provider of continuing medical education (CME) for physicians. Accreditation in the ACCME System seeks to assure the medical community and the public that ACHL delivers education that is relevant to clinicians’ needs, evidence-based, evaluated for its effectiveness, and independent of commercial influence.

ACHL is accredited to provide continuing education programs for physicians, pharmacists, nurses, case managers and dietitians. We adhere to industry best practices and will apply for additional certifications as needed. ACHL is accredited to provide continuing education by the following organizations:
