COVID-19

The Office of Continuing Education is monitoring current COVID-19 news and information to best serve our community. Our accreditation agency, the ACCME, has released new regulations regarding COVID-19 continuing education activities, allowing for a faster approval process.

In response to the ongoing pandemic, the ACCME and WMed’s Office of Continuing Education have eased and expedited the credit approval process for COVID-19-related activities (i.e. meetings, webinars, panels, etc.). There are no timeline restrictions; however, we are not able to accredit activities retroactively. To receive credit, please complete the COVID-19 Workplace Learning Application Form using the link below and submit it to the WMed CE Office at ce@med.wmich.edu. If you have any questions or need assistance in completing the form, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Additionally, our office can assist you in hosting or creating any new COVID-19-related content, such as webinars, videos, or online materials.
