Accreditation Application

A CME activity application is the mechanism used to apply for CME credit and is required for all activities. UC San Diego CME utilizes a web-based system for the management of accreditation applications and associated data. The platform enables a streamlined process for application submission, committee review, reporting and follow-up data submission.

The application is due 60 days prior to the activity and is available online.

After your activity has been reviewed and granted approval you will receive a formal approval letter that outlines the requirements for proper execution of your activity.

Note: in order to fill-out the application, the educational planning process (including the gap analysis/needs assessment) needs to be completed. Please use the CME Planning Tool to help guide you through this process.

Additional Application Requirements

All persons involved in the planning of the CME activity (including course directors, planners, speakers, and committee members) must provide conflict of interest disclosure information. Disclosures are due from course directors, planners and committee members before the application can be reviewed and credit can be awarded. Disclosures from speakers may be submitted at a later date (but no later than 4 weeks prior to the start of the activity) as the program and faculty are confirmed.

UC San Diego CME’s web-based disclosure database allows for completion and updating of disclosure information online at any time.

Other pieces of information needed in order to complete the application are a tentative program agenda and faculty list.

Note: approval of credit is tentative until all required materials are received and compliance can be verified. Failure to submit the required supplemental documentation will result in the withdrawal of CME designation for the activity.
