Our goal is to provide physicians and other health care professionals
with high quality educational experiences. Continuing medical education
is defined by the American Medical Association (AMA) and the Accreditation
Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) as:
"educational
activities that serve to maintain, develop, or increase the knowledge,
skills, and professional performance and relationships a physician
uses to provide services for patients, the public, or the profession.
The content of CME is that body of knowledge and skills generally
accepted by the profession as within the basic medical sciences,
the discipline of clinical medicine, and the provision of healthcare
to the public".
During
the past fiscal year, over 35,000 physicians and other health care
professionals, attended live courses, grand rounds, and completed
enduring materials and internet activities. Over 137 activities and
45 grand rounds were sponsored.
The
University of Arizona College of Medicine at the Arizona Health Sciences Center
has fulfilled the accreditation requirements set forth by the Accreditation Council
for Continuing Medical Education and is hereby accredited as a provider of continuing
medical education for physicians.
Since the University of Arizona College of Medicine opened its doors to the first
class of medical students in 1967, the college has led the way to improving the
health of Arizonans through its commitment to education, research, outreach and patient care.
Arizona's only four-year, MD-degree granting college, the UA College of Medicine has 17 departments and seven centers of excellence dedicated to specific areas of research, clinical care and teaching. More than 500 full-time faculty members and nearly 800 part-time faculty members instruct today's medical students.
The college is the nucleus of a thriving academic health sciences center that has grown to provide medical care and health-care programs throughout the state, from the U.S.-Mexico border to Native American communities in Northern Arizona. Now approaching its fourth decade of service to the people of Arizona, the UA College of Medicine continues to expand, boasting an additional hospital training site in Tucson - University Physicians Healthcare Hospital at Kino Campus - a new Arizona Cancer Center addition under construction, a historic expansion effort in downtown Phoenix and a rich array of clinical experiences for students at locations throughout the state.
