Overview
Master best practices and learn about evolving accreditation policies to submit high quality CPD accreditation applications.
This series of 4 online information sessions will walk through components of an accreditation application. For example, we plan on discussing relationship disclosures and conflicts of interest, policy changes, and other particularly challenging parts of the application process. We will review key information, share relevant examples, and locate helpful resources.
With ample time for Q&A built into each session, we encourage you to bring your questions. We want to build a community of support and streamline existing resources to better serve you. Thus, we also invite feedback on what you would like us to cover in upcoming sessions.
Who Should Attend?
Hospital and University administrators and staff members who coordinate, support, and/or submit accreditation applications for CPD activities. Program Directors and members of Scientific Planning Committees, as well as members of the CPD community interested in learning more about the accreditation process.
