Continuing Medical Education Courses and Events

ACCME Compliance
Ensuring ACCME compliance requires a high degree of teamwork and communication between client and planner. BSC Management's professional team understands the responsibility that rests upon our shoulders to meet and exceed ACCME principles. We facilitate planning processes that follow CME best practices recommendations. At the end of your event, you will have the proper documentation to demonstrate compliance.
Needs Assessment
The foundation for a CME program is the establishment of documented need. BSC Management can assist you in your needs assessment, whether this involves a comprehensive survey of potential participants, a literature search of relevant journal articles, or more individualized services that address your group's history and goals.
Evaluation
With recent changes to the ACCME requirements, the evaluation of a CME event must go beyond the simple "Did you like this course" questions. The CME staff at BSC Management are skilled at obtaining meaningful evaluation data and at translating this information into recommendations for future events.
Corporate Support
Fund-raising for a CME event requires a delicate balance which recognizes the financial needs of the organization while adhering to the strict guidelines of the ACCME. Our staff has successfully balanced those two needs without a hitch. BSC Management develops and maintains ties with targeted funding sources, while assuring that the ACCME's "Standards for Commercial Support" are met.
On-Site Management
Once the planning is done, it is BSC Management's job to make sure your program runs smoothly. Our staff manages your event's logistical details through use of an experience-based on-site CME checklist. Not only does the checklist remind key players of their responsibilities, it also becomes part of the program file as additional documentation that the ACCME guidelines were followed.
