CME Mission Statement

The purpose of continuing medical education (CME) is to raise the level of care by providing high quality, continuing medical education for all pediatric health care providers in the region (including pediatric physicians, surgeons, family physicians, pediatric physician assistants, pediatric APRNs, and nurses). CME activities should implement & execute practical, evidence based, quality continuing medical education while adhering to the following:

• Assess the needs of our health care providers to develop educational programs that improve their professional satisfaction and competence.
• Provide practical, up-to-date continuing medical education activities utilizing a variety of educational formats, including contemporary technologies and Enduring Activities.
• Reflect the importance of evidence-based medicine in the educational content.
• Establish effective methods to assess the impact of educational content on practitioner behavior, delivery of care, and on patient outcomes.
• Meet or exceed both legal and continuing education standards established by the Joint Commission, the State of Connecticut, Connecticut State Medical Society, and the Accreditation Council on Continuing Medical Education.

Accreditation

Accreditation: Connecticut Children’s is accredited by the Connecticut State Medical Society to provide continuing medical education for physicians. The Office of Continuing Medical Education plans evidence-based CME activities that enhance physician competence and performance, improve patient outcomes, and better equip physicians to practice in a changing healthcare environment.
