Serving you with CME since 1992
Since 1992 the Institute for Advanced Medical Education has been a leading provider of continuing medical education, providing practice-changing experiences for physicians, nurses, technologists and other health care professionals. Our online CME program was established in 2001.
IAME is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education, so CME is our only business.
Mission
We aim to raise the bar in CME by going beyond the minimum requirements and extending a vision that continues to reach new levels.
Purpose
IAME's purpose is to provide educational activities that lead to improved delivery of patient care. Physician participants are provided with high quality educational opportunities designed to improve practice-based skills in different health care settings.
Target audience
IAME serves a national audience of practicing physicians and allied health professionals. Potential attendees include specialists such as radiologists, neurologists, surgeons, cardiologists and obstetrician-gynecologists, and primary care physicians. IAME also serves a secondary audience that includes allied health professionals, who are also members of the health care team.
Content areas
Content areas include but are not limited to medical imaging, cardiovascular disease, neurology and women's health.
Types of activities
The types of activities that IAME provide are interactive learning formats; live events; Internet-based enduring materials; and journal-based CME.
Scope
IAME produces educational programs and services that facilitate learning in basic sciences, diagnostic modalities, technical skills, therapeutics and patient management. Educational delivery systems are tailored to the continuing professional development needs of the participants in support of the following six general competencies: patient care, medical knowledge, practice based learning and improvement, interpersonal and communication skills, professionalism, and systems based practice.
Expected results
IAME's goal is to provide educational activities that lead to improved patient care. The expected results of IAME's educational activities are achieved through focused medical programs that contribute to the lifelong learning of its participants. IAME relies on a variety of instruments to assess and quantify the impact of these activities on physician performance, competence or patient outcomes. Specific expected results include an increase in applied knowledge, the refinement of skill sets and the ability to apply new techniques or skills known to improve the quality of clinical practice and patient care.
