Upon launch, only fields that are currently required by ACCME for reaccreditation purposes or were previously required on the Annual Report are required by PARS.
PARS is designed to collect additional data and information on:
- content areas,
- subcategories for courses,
- AMA PRA Category 1 Credits Designated
- names of joint sponsors and commercial supporters,
- the nature of in-kind support, and
- some activity-specific income and expense information.
Entry of these additional data is optional. The purpose of collecting additional information is to enable the ACCME and its providers to gain a more detailed and comprehensive picture of the national CME enterprise. This information could assist the ACCME and its providers in demonstrating the value and scope of CME.
