Joint Providership

NEED CME? NEED CNE? NEED CPE?

CALL US TODAY! 425.821.3965

Looking to partner with an accredited organization to obtain CME, CNE or CPE? Working with FCM as a Joint Provider may just be the answer for obtaining accreditation.

If you need or are seeking accreditation for CME (AMA PRA Category 1), CNE (Nursing) or CPE (Pharmacy), considering contacting us.

Joint providership has been an established process for more than 25 years, affording accredited organizations the opportunity to collaborate with non-accredited organizations to enhance the diversity and value of their educational offerings.

Educational organizations seeking accreditation may submit a pre-program application provided you are not an ACCME defined commercial interest. A commercial interest is any entity producing, marketing, re-selling, or distributing health care goods or services consumed by, or used on patients.
