The North American Center for Continuing Medical Education (NACCME) is an accredited medical education provider, committed to continuing education in health professions.

Our Continuing Medical Education mission is to provide an educational forum to examine health care issues, technologies, and therapies designed for the advancement of science and medicine. Additionally, our expected results are:

•	to provide the educational tools necessary for health care professionals to fulfill their obligation to improve the health of their patient population.
•	to offer educational activities that are practice related and that assist in enhancing patient care
•	to reach distant learners by offering activities that are directly accessible at their practice location or home.

Measurement tools used to collect data about identified and achieved results include attendee evaluation forms as well as statistics regarding participant demographics.

The scope of our activities, which is based on careful needs assessment from a variety of sources, include, but is not limited to, primary care, internal medicine, family practice, and geriatrics. Special areas of emphasis have included cardiology, dermatology, wound care, podiatry and oncology.

Our target audience is primary care physicians with a secondary audience including medical specialists appropriate to the educational material presented. As we believe that many medical challenges involve a team approach, allied health practitioners are also invited to participate in selected activities.

The types of activities and services offered include multi-day conferences, symposia, one-day seminars and workshops, hands-on laboratory training sessions, satellite videoconferencing, web-casting and assorted enduring materials.
