Who should attend a "Bridge to Quality" workshop?
CME professionals and their stakeholders — at all levels of skill and experience — will find the "Bridge to Quality" workshop an invaluable opportunity for professional development. We welcome the participation of both nationally-accredited and state-accredited organizations.
The workshop is also a great way to learn more about seeking accreditation, but first, see if you are eligible to be considered by visiting our information for first time applicants.

Optional Post-Workshop Sessions
Following the formal conclusion of the workshop, we will offer two optional concurrent sessions:
- Hot Topics: Joint Accreditation – Kate Regnier, ACCME’s Deputy CEO, and Dimitra Travlos, Asst. Executive Director and Director of Continuing Pharmacy Education at the Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education (ACPE), will share information and lead discussion about the ACCME-ANCC-ACPE Joint Accreditation process.
