Since most of the hospitals or clinics out there are under the influence of an association I have decided it would be good to create a post for each association and to describe what that as. does.
Also, many doctors or nurses are part of groups or health association, but us, the people who are not working in this domain no to know exactly their role in health or health education.

Sometime, we do not know where to make a request or to apply an interview when we have a specific need in the domain of health education – regarding the nurse school, for example.

So, here we go, starting to echo out all the health association that exist out there. If you are willing to share some info on it, please email me or just drop a comment here. Any other info than what I bring out on this forum is very useful.

ACCME – Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education

The ACCME’s Mission is the identification, development, and promotion of standards for quality continuing medical education (CME) utilized by physicians in their maintenance of competence and incorporation of new knowledge to improve quality medical care for patients and their communities.

So, doctors, workshops, accreditation – these are the keywords for ACCME association. The most important page of their website is, in my humble oppinion, the Education Oportunities and Prestation ( can be found on the top part of the website, higher menu ).
