We appreciate the contributions of the continuing medical education (CME) community to developing and implementing the Menu of Criteria for Accreditation with Commendation, and we congratulate all the CME providers that have applied and plan to apply for commendation. The leadership, staff, and volunteers of the ACCME and Recognized Accreditors are working hard to support the continued, successful adoption of the criteria and the evolution of educational strategies to reflect best practices.
