BALTIMORE, Md.—October 5, 2009—Med-IQ, an ACCME-accredited provider of continuing medical education, is pleased to announce that William A. Mencia, MD, Vice President of Education & Medical Affairs, and Jeanne Cornish, RPh, Director of Continuing Medical Education and Educational Strategy, have earned Certified CME Professional (CCMEP™) credentials awarded by the National Commission for Certification of CME Professionals, Inc. (NC-CME).

The NC-CME launched the CCMEP™ certification program in 2008 to evaluate and recognize the knowledge and skills of individuals who provide educational programs for physicians and other healthcare professionals. The extensive certification process culminates with a final examination that tests CME providers on principles of adult learning and professional development, framing of clinical content for maximum impact, and interpretation of CME rules and regulations.

"Having two Certified CME Professionals on our team further validates and enhances our commitment to delivering high-quality CME that can change practice behavior and improve patient outcomes," said Scott E. Weber, Co-CEO of Med-IQ. "During a period where so much scrutiny is being placed on the CME enterprise, it is critical for all accredited providers to further their commitment to the standards of the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME)®. We are all extremely proud of William and Jeanne for this accomplishment."

A nonprofit organization founded in 2006, the NC-CME has an overall objective of improving the quality of patient care by maintaining an independent national program of certification for CME professionals. CME professionals are responsible for ensuring the integrity of educational activities necessary for relicensure of more than 600,000 practicing physicians and other healthcare providers in the US.
