CME Joint Sponsorship
Joint Sponsorship is the process by which two organizations, one an accredited CME
provider (ISMA) and one not, form a partnership to plan, implement and evaluate a
CME activity. The ISMA is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing
Medical Education (ACCME) and is responsible for ensuring compliance with all
ACCME Essential Areas and Elements.
As an accredited provider, the ISMA can partner with an organization that:
- Is located in the United States and its Territories
- Is developing and/or presenting a program of CME for physicians on a regular
and recurring basis
- Is not a commercial interest
- Is not developing and/or presenting a program of CME that is, in the judgment of the ACCME, devoted to advocacy on unscientific modalities of diagnosis or
therapy
- Presents activities that have “valid” content. Specifically, the organization must
be presenting activities that promote recommendations, treatment or manners
of practicing medicine that are within the CME guidelines. Providers are not
eligible for accreditation if they present activities that promote treatments
known to have risks or dangers that outweigh the benefits or are known to be
ineffective in the treatment of patients.
