Continuing medical education activities are developed and delivered by a variety of organizations, including:
- Professional associations
- Medical education agencies
- Hospitals
- Educational institutions, including universities, medical and nursing schools
- Private Institutions/
- Home study nursing continuing education providers
Activities may be classified as Formal Learning Activities, including live planned programs, enduring materials (such as DVD- and web-based content), Process Improvement CME (or PI-CME, as defined by the American Medical Association), or Informal Learning Activities such as Internet-Point of Care (POC) research and decision making, or journal clubs whose members evaluate published research for mutual awareness and benefit.
In 2008, professional certification for CME planners was established by the National Commission for Certification of CME Professionals, which is earned by standardized exam, and confers the Certified CME Professional (CCMEP) certificate. NC-CME maintains a registry of these certified professionals. As of June 2011, the Registry included 320 professionals.
