CME/CE Overview
The AAAAI is accredited to provide AMA PRA Category 1 CME Credits™ for physicians by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) and continuing education (CE) hours for nurses by the California Board of Registered Nursing (CBRN). Your activity must meet the requirements of these organizations in order to be certified by the AAAAI. As an accredited organization the AAAAI may enter into a Joint Providership relationship with a non-accredited organzation with the purpose of hosting an accredited activity. The ACCME defines joint providership as the providership of a CME activity by one or more accredited and one or more nonaccredited organizations.
