Joint accreditation offers a powerful platform for providers to promote inter-professional education from 3 global leaders in accreditation of continuing medical education. Providers of inter-professional health care education gain the convenience, efficiency and potential cost savings of qualifying for simultaneous accreditation by:

• ANCC
• ACCME, Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education
• ACPE, Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education

Providers accredited via joint accreditation may also offer continuing education for nurses, pharmacists, or physicians separately.
