Press Releases
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Princeton CME Earns Highest ACPE Initial Provider Status Following January ACPE Board of Directors Meeting Contact: John Savage (Millstone Township, NJ; January 29, 2008) Princeton CME, an ACPE provider since January 2006, announced today that it has earned 4 additional years of pharmacy accreditation following the January 2008 ACPE Board of Directors meeting. Four years is the maximum additional term for which initial ACPE providers are eligible to receive. In recommending a 4-year term, one reviewer commended Princeton CME for “its commitment to quality and improvement.” Princeton CME earned “meets criteria” or “commendation” status in every category assessed by ACPE, including “Administrative and Organization,” “Faculty and Staff,” “Facilities,” and ”Evaluation.” ACPE’s commendation demonstrates the Princeton CME commitment to high-quality, learner-directed, outcomes-driven education—a dedication that extends beyond pharmacy to all areas of continuing healthcare professional education. Building on its initial success as an ACPE provider and its ACCME preapplication approval, Princeton CME is scheduled to submit its initial self-study report to ACCME in March and expects to receive its ACCME accreditation decision in November 2008.
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Princeton CME and the University of Kentucky College of Medicine Announce Plans to Collaborate on 2008 CORE Initiative Contact: John Savage (Millstone Township, NJ; November 16, 2007) Princeton CME confirmed plans today to continue the Coalition of Rheumatology Educators (CORE) initiative in 2008 and is excited to announce that the University of Kentucky College of Medicine has agreed to join the ongoing collaboration as joint sponsor and CME provider. “Princeton CME and the University of Kentucky College of Medicine have developed a strong CME partnership during the past year and share a similar commitment to high-quality education,” according to Randy Robbin, President of Princeton CME. “The addition of a strong academic institution like the University of Kentucky to the CORE initiative will only increase the impact of CORE programming. We are also excited to incorporate the University of Kentucky’s CE Central website into CORE 2008 to broaden the reach of the program and take advantage of some sophisticated web-based capabilities.” Since its 2007 inception, the multifaceted, multi-supported CORE initiative has been designed to educate rheumatologists and related healthcare professionals on up-to-date, evidence-based approaches for early diagnosis, management, and ongoing clinical assessment of disease activity in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and related diseases, with an ultimate goal of achieving remission. CME participants of the 2007 initiative highly rated the overall quality of CORE programming (4.38 on a scale of 1 to 5), while defining areas of ongoing educational need. Approximately 70% of CORE workshop attendees indicated no plans to attend 2008 European League against Rheumatism and American College of Rheumatology annual meetings, where many of the frequent advances in RA and related diseases generally emerge. “The University of Kentucky College of Medicine is extremely pleased to be part of this important educational initiative,” according to Steven Scrivner, Associate Director, University of Kentucky Colleges of Pharmacy and Medicine Continuing Education. “Princeton CME has done an excellent job in identifying the educational need among clinicians and the strategy for addressing that need is well suited.” In the 2008 CORE initiative, Princeton CME and the University of Kentucky College of Medicine will work with CORE faculty to fill the gap between optimal, evidence-based management approaches for RA and related diseases and current real-world practice. Interactive education and debate will be centered on appropriate use of current and emerging biologic therapies, the role of clinical measurement tools versus clinician judgment in assessing patient-specific disease activity status, and challenges associated with RA comorbidities and treatment-related adverse effects. “I have enjoyed working as a faculty presenter for the 2007 CORE initiative,” said Arthur Weaver, MD, Clinical Professor of Medicine, University of Nebraska Medical Center, “and looking forward, the 2008 initiative promises to be as educationally and interactively balanced as this year.” CORE programming in 2008 will include live and on-demand education based on adult-learning principles and will be designed to assess participant learning, changes in competence and performance, and ongoing educational needs.
