CME mission statements.
Medical schools, hospitals, and other institutions accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) are expected to have prepared "mission statements" for their CME activities. The role of the CME mission statement, however, has not been widely discussed in the literature as a primary topic area. The Tufts experience illustrates the interrelationships of CME program development and the evolution of changing mission statements at one medical school and should be of interest to other schools and to university and community hospitals as well.
