Overview
Center for Independent Healthcare Education (Center) is committed to enhancing the quality of care of patients by providing the healthcare team with scientifically sound, balanced, and evidence-based educational activities that impact their knowledge, competence and performance. We believe that by arming the healthcare team with an understanding of the clinical application of evidence-based medicine, better patient outcomes can be achieved.
Accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) and the Accreditation Council on Pharmaceutical Education (ACPE), Center certifies continuing education activities for physicians and pharmacists. Center is currently seeking accreditation as a provider of continuing nursing education through the New Jersey State Nurses Association.
Center, in collaboration with non-accredited educational partners, has successfully produced initiatives in the therapeutic areas of infectious diseases, cardiovascular medicine, rheumatology, and metabolic disorders. Live activities have included regional meetings, symposia at national meetings, simulcasts, and webinars. Home studies have included on-demand webinars, virtual professors, podcasts, educational websites, journal supplements, monographs, and newsletters.
We are leaders in the application of Adult Learning Principles, within the context of needs-based, independent and high-quality educational programming. Our CME activities, as measured through program and outcomes evaluations, help to close learning gaps and modify clinical practice behaviors with the ultimate goal of improving patient health outcomes.
