ACCP Education Mission
To develop educational delivery systems for chest, critical care, and sleep physicians that facilitate lifelong learning and optimize clinical care through the following Continuing Education Committee goals:
- Identify topics in which an educational need indicates that the diagnosis and management of chest disease, pulmonary, critical care, and sleep medicine could be significantly improved by providing new information. Dissemination of this information would have high global health and economic impact. The information would ideally be based upon a body of published evidence or evidence-based guidelines.
- Promote lifelong learning through the use of the ACCP education curriculum that reflects clinicians’ time, fiscal practicality, incorporation of evidence-based guidelines, and the use of current technology.
- Work with other organizations to develop sponsor and/or disseminate continuing medical education programs or enduring products.
- Implement continuing medical education delivery systems that meet or exceed the current guidelines of the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education.
- Assess the educational significance and impact on learners who have participated in the ACCP education curriculum.
