Universal Accreditation
Earning accreditation is much more than signing up with an organization to give away credit hours. We feel that individual universal accreditation specific to our members helps you trust what we do, and also emboldens our organization to reach our goals of teaching improved healthcare delivery.
Taking advantage of universal accreditation ensures that our material has been reviewed by the primary advocating body for advanced practice providers, and that each one of our events will conform to the highest education standards possible. This means that when you choose our program, you are being guaranteed the right level of education to the highest of standards. This is another fact that sets us apart from the other programs out there!
You are not required to claim CME credit for our programs, but they are included in your toolkit membership. All of our programs are offered in enduring format, which allows you to learn on your terms, on your schedule. You can also sign up for any of our live programs, to experience hands-on training and solidify your skills.
Physician Assistant Continuing Medical Education
Being accredited by the AAPA and the AAFP, we strive to deliver reliable content, reviewed from their perspective, and approved through a rigorous process. This ensures that physician assistants are also receiving high quality medical education consistent with their training and expectations.
Credits for our programs may also be counted toward CAQ requirements by the NCCPA.
All of our workshops and professional development packages will satisfy the requirements for Category I credits from the American Academy of Physician Associates. AAFP credits are interchangeable with the AAPA and the NCCPA on a one-to-one basis and are equivalent to AAPA Category 1 credits for Physician Associates.
From the AAPA Website:
NPs can often claim AAPA Category 1 CME credit as continuing education with AANPCB and ANCC. AAPA recommends that NPs check with their certification/licensing authority to confirm that AAPA credit is acceptable.
NP Emergency Nurse Practitioner and Specialty Hours
Nurse Practitioners may also apply AAPA and AAFP credits toward Continuing Education hours with all Nurse Practitioner Boards. Nurse Practitioners will also receive designated Pharmacology and Emergency Procedure credits for this program.
Our CME conferences include procedure hours that qualify towards Emergency Nurse Practitioner Certification requirements. In addition to our live programs, we have fully accredited online Emergency Medicine, Urgent Care, Hospitalist, and Acute Care professional development packages, which allow the participant to earn all of the credit hours, emergency procedure hours, and pharmacology hours required to sit for the ENP certification examination, PA-CAQ Examination, Acute Care / Geriatric Nurse Practitioner examination, or Hospitalist PA-CAQ Examination.

Physician Continuing Medical Education
Physicians may also claim the same number of credits for all our during programs, whether or not they attend a live program. This model allows for maximum flexibility with your busy schedules. NPs and PAs may also submit AAFP credits!
The American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP) has reviewed the Physician Skills and Procedures Series, and deemed it acceptable for AAFP credit. Physicians should claim only the credit commensurate with the extent of their participation in the activity. We are approved for AAPA Prescribed credit, which also satisfy the requirements for AMA PRA Category I CME credits.
