What is Designing an Accreditable CE Program?
Continuing education providers seeking accreditation must typically show that their programs are based on identified needs, have measurable objectives, deliver evidence-based and unbiased content, use suitable methods, evaluate outcomes and keep reliable records. This course walks through each element of quality CE program design, from needs assessment and objectives to faculty selection, conflict-of-interest management, evaluation and documentation, helping training organisations prepare for accreditation.
