At its July 2008 Board meeting, the ACCME took action to propose a new policy regarding the independence of accredited continuing medical education from commercial interests. Please click here to read the details. The ACCME is seeking comment on this policy before taking any final action on it. In order to give the CME community time to reflect on the wording and implications of this policy, and to integrate it into any comments on the calls-for-comment released in June, the ACCME has extended the call-for-comment deadline on ALL the proposed policies to September 12, 2008.
