Vindico Medical Education receives highest level of CME accreditation

Vindico Medical Education has been awarded Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education Accreditation with Commendation as a provider of continuing medical education, according to a press release.

The level three, 6-year accreditation boosts Vindico Medical Education into the top 21% of providers of continuing medical education (CME) in the United States.

“Vindico's inclusion into the vaulted ranks of Level 3-accredited organizations in the United States places them among those medical educators in the country that have demonstrated the highest levels of educational acumen based on quality and patient safety parameters consistent with identified needs of the physician,” Steve Passin, national continuing medical education advisor and president of Steve Passin & Associates, said in the release.

The special accreditation status puts Vindico among the nation’s most prestigious medical schools, national medical associations, hospitals and other medical education organizations, according to the release.

“This acknowledgment of Vindico Medical Education’s performance-in-practice further empowers our core educational mission of ‘improving the quality of health care by delivering superior-quality, outcomes-oriented professional education to clinicians,’” Peter Slack, president of the Wyanoke Group, the family of companies that includes Vindico Medical Education, said in the press release.

Vindico’s commendation status was determined by its accomplishment of two important Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education criteria, including CME that served to generate improvements in the professional practice of its physicians and CME that was fundamentally planned to improve quality of care and patient safety, according to the release.

Robert Esgro, chief operating officer of Vindico Medical Education, added, “This achievement is a testament of our team’s commitment to innovation in learning and extending learning beyond the classroom to impact patient outcomes and experience.”
