(Updated January 2024) ACCME & ECME-accredited meetings are obligated to deliver educational and scientific content free from commercial bias and conflicts of interest. ACCME stands for the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education, and ECME refers to European CME (Continuing Medical Education). ACCME and ECME are accreditation bodies responsible for ensuring that educational and scientific content delivered in accredited meetings is free from commercial bias and conflicts of interest.
Organizers maintain compliance with ACCME and ECME guidelines by mitigating the impact of financial and organizational conflicts of interest that speakers may have and by providing various levels of review for presentation materials. CTI’s CME Presentation Review functionality addresses the presentation review aspect of compliance.
