Welcome to the online home of NC-CME, a nonprofit organization dedicated to improving healthcare through the certification of continuing medical education professionals.
May 10, 2012
Ever since the first class of CCMEPs received their certificates at a special event in October 2008, NC-CME has maintained the tradition of welcoming newly certified colleagues with a champagne/ginger ale toast [always donated] and the opportunity to meet the Board of Directors face-to-face in conjunction with a national gathering of CME professionals.
This year there will be a new twist: all CCMEPs are hereby challenged to encourage one or more new candidates to sit for the June and/or September exams. Subsequently, on October 10 in Baltimore, prior to the Annual Conference of the Task Force on CME Provider/Industry Collaboration, the CCMEP mentors may escort their successful mentees to the celebration where they will be photographed presenting a certificate to their newly certified colleagues. The photographs will be posted on the NC-CME website and can be downloaded following the Conference.
NC-CME President Dennis Wentz, MD, CCMEP, envisions how this will enliven the traditional welcoming ceremony: "This event has always generated an amazing sense of camaraderie within the CME community, as the new CCMEPs are acknowledged for having achieved a significant career goal. And having a tangible memento of the occasion will surely enhance the experience for them and for their mentors."
Registration ends May 31 for the June 13-30 testing period. Judy Ribble, PhD, CCMEP, Executive Director, adds: "Zero in on your candidate now and let me know when your candidate registers. We’re open to providing a whole bank of paparazzi for the occasion."
