What is the difference between direct sponsorship and joint sponsorship of CME activities?

Last Revised:

A directly sponsored activity is one that is planned, implemented and evaluated by the accredited provider.  Include co-sponsored activities (provided by two accredited providers) in this category if you are the accredited provider awarding the credit.  In contrast, a jointly sponsored activity is one that is planned, implemented and evaluated by the accredited provider and a non-accredited entity.
