SACME Certificate of recognition program in cpd/ce scholarship

Program Overview

SACME’s mission is to foster scholarship in CPD/CE to advance health equity, practice and value of CPD/CE, clinician practice and well-being, and patient care and health of the public through leadership and collaboration. Scholarship in CPD/CE is critical for capacity building, to communicate the effectiveness of programs, and to disseminate promising practices in CPD/CE.
