Professional Education

The National Foundation for Infectious Diseases is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) to provide continuing medical education (CME) for physicians.

ACCME accreditation seeks to assure both physicians and the public that CME activities sponsored by NFID meet the high standards of the Essential Areas and Elements (including the Standards for Commercial Support) and Accreditation Policies established by ACCME. The ACCME rigorously evaluates the overall CME programs of institutions according to standards adopted by all seven sponsoring organizations of the ACCME, including: the American Board of Medical Specialties; the American Hospital Association; the American Medical Association; the Association for Hospital Medical Education; the Association of American Medical Colleges; the Council of Medical Specialty Societies; and the Federation of State Medical Boards.
