Joint Accreditation for Interprofessional Continuing Education offers organizations the opportunity to be simultaneously accredited to provide dentistry, medicine, nursing, optometry, PAs, pharmacy, psychology, and social work continuing education through a single, unified application process, fee structure, and set of accreditation standards.
Enhance Interprofessional Education Opportunities for Healthcare Teams
The first and only innovation in the world offering multiple accreditations in 1 review process, Joint Accreditation promotes interprofessional continuing education (IPCE) activities specifically designed to improve interprofessional collaborative practice (IPCP) in health care delivery.

- Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME)
