ACCP Pulmonary Board Review 2008

CME Information

ACCP Education Mission
To develop educational delivery systems for chest, critical care, and sleep physicians that facilitate lifelong learning and optimize clinical care through the following:

ACCP Education Committee Goals

  1. Identify topics where an educational need indicates that the diagnosis and management of chest disease, pulmonary, critical care, and sleep medicine could be signiicantly improved by providing new information. Dissemination of this information would have a high global health and economic impact. The information would ideally be based upon a body of published evidence or evidence-based guidelines.
  2. Promote lifelong learning through the use of the American College of Chest Physicians’ education curriculum that relects clinicians’ time, iscal practicality, incorporation of evidence-based guidelines, and the use of current technology.
  3. Work with other organizations to develop, sponsor, and/ or disseminate continuing medical education programs or enduring products.
  4. Implement continuing medical educational delivery systems that meet or exceed the current guidelines of the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME).
  5. Assess the educational significance and impact on learners who have participated in the American College of Chest Physicians’ education curriculum.

ACCP Learning Categories
ACCP Learning Categories organize
education activities based on how education is delivered to promote a wider variety of methodologies. The sessions presented during this course are labeled to identify the type of instruction and methodology used, so you can determine how the presentation will meet your learning style and educational goals. ACCP Learning Categories have no predetermined requirements. Your online CME certiicate will relect your ACCP Learning Categories. The ACCP Learning Categories are:
ACCP Learning Category I: Lecture-Based
ACCP Learning Category II: Self-Directed
ACCP Learning Category III: Evidence-Based
ACCP Learning Category IV: Case- and Problem-Based
ACCP Learning Category V: Simulation
ACCP Learning Category VI: Quality Improvement

Maintenance of Licensure
The ACCP Learning Categories are further subcategorized into Maintenance of Licensure (MOL) areas. The subcategorization is very helpful for applying CME to state requirements. All of the sessions in this program are subcategorized as MOL: Scope of Practice-Pulmonary Medical Education.

Learn more about the ACCP Learning Categories.

Disclosure Statement
The American College of Chest Physicians (ACCP) remains strongly committed to providing the best available evidence-based clinical information to participants of this educational activity and requires an open disclosure of any potential conlict of interest identiied by our faculty members. It is not the intent of the ACCP to eliminate all situations of potential conlict of interest, but rather to enable those who are working with the ACCP to recognize situations that may be subject to question by others. All disclosed conlicts of interest are reviewed by the educational activity course director/chair, the Education Committee, or the Conlict of Interest Review Committee to ensure that such situations are properly evaluated and, if necessary, resolved. The ACCP educational standards pertaining to conlict of interest are intended to maintain the professional autonomy of the clinical experts inherent in promoting a balanced presentation of science. Through our review process, all ACCP CME activities are ensured of independent, objective, scientiically balanced presentations of information. Disclosure of any or no relationships will be made available for all educational activities.
