the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education

(ALEXANDRIA, VIRGINIA, August 29, 2021) – The American College of Osteopathic Surgeons has been reviewed by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME®) and was recently awarded provisional accreditation status as a provider of continuing medical education (CME) for physicians.
