ProAssurance recently received its provisional accreditation from the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME). ProAssurance achieved this accreditation by using current educational activities that demonstrate compliance in the areas reviewed by the ACCME. Risk Management will revise available programs and publications carrying continuing medical education (CME) credits to reflect the updated ACCME accreditation statement identifying ProAssurance as the accrediting body. The accreditation statement must appear on all CME activity materials and brochures distributed by ProAssurance.
Previously, ProAssurance Indemnity Company, Inc. was ACCME accredited from 1995 to August 2021. NORCAL Insurance Company officially joined the ProAssurance Group of companies in May 2021, and in July 2021, NORCAL received ACCME Accreditation with Commendation. Due to the timing of program expirations and reaccreditations, the two companies came together in August 2021 to provide accredited CME through joint providership with the NORCAL Accreditation with Commendation achievement. As integration continued, it was decided that now was the time to begin the 12-month process of returning to a ProAssurance ACCME accredited education program. This provisional accreditation is current from 7/22/2024 to 7/31/2026, at which time ProAssurance will apply for full accreditation.
ProAssurance recognizes the time and effort of the CME team, with a special thanks to Shirley Armenta, the CME Administrator, for accomplishing this task. ProAssurance is committed to continuing to provide applicable, timely, and innovative continuing medical education to our policyholders and partners.
