The 91Ƶ University Office of CME offers excellent continuing medical education that enhances the ability of faculty and community physicians to deliver patient care.
The overarching goal of CDU’s Continuing Medical Education is to enhance physician competence and performance, ultimately improving patient care within under-resourced populations and reducing healthcare disparities.
91Ƶ University is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education to provide continuing medical education for physicians. Many of our accredited initiatives, however, target the entire healthcare team, and you can expect to learn from noted experts in their fields.
Our mission is to provide excellent accredited CE. At CDU, we place particular emphasis on primary care, specialty care, and research clusters focused on high-impact problems in under-resourced and minority communities, including factors and conditions that contribute to healthcare disparities. The CDU CE Program is designed to enhance physicians’ ability to lead within the healthcare team and implement evidence-based medicine. Our accredited CE program uses ACGME/ABMS core competencies as the basis for its content, ensuring we meet our learners’ needs.
