Celebration of Pediatric Pulmonology 2008
CME, Accreditation, & Disclosure
Education Mission
To develop educational delivery systems for chest, critical
care, and sleep physicians that facilitate lifelong learning,
optimize clinical care, and meet the Continuing Education
Committee goals.
Continuing Education Committee Goals
- Identify topics where 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 a 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 American
College of Chest Physicians’ 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 educational delivery
systems that meet or exceed the current guidelines of the
Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education
(ACCME).
- Assess the educational significance and impact on learners
who have participated in the American College of Chest
Physicians’ education curriculum.
ACCP Learning Categories
ACCP Learning Categories organize all ACCP education
activities based on how education is delivered to promote
a wider variety of educational methodologies. The sessions
presented during Celebration of Pediatric Pulmonology 2008
are clearly labeled to identify the type of instruction and
methodology used, so you can determine how the presentation
will meet your learning style and educational goals.
ACCP Learning Categories have no predetermined requirements,
but will be reflected on your CME certificate. The six
learning categories are:
ACCP Learning Category I: Lecture-Based
ACCP Learning Category II: Self-Directed
ACCP Learning Category III: Evidence-Based
ACCP Learning Category IV: Case- and Problem-Based
ACCP Learning Category V: Simulation
ACCP Learning Category VI: Quality Improvement
Maintenance of Licensure
The ACCP Learning Categories are further subcategorized
into Maintenance of Licensure (MOL) areas. The subcategorization
is helpful for applying CME to state requirements. All
of the sessions in this program are subcategorized as MOL:
Scope of Practice—Pulmonary Education.
More information about the ACCP Learning Categories is
available online.

Accreditation Statement
The American College of Chest Physicians is accredited by the
Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education to
provide continuing medical education for physicians.
Disclosure Statement
The American College of Chest Physicians (ACCP)
remains strongly committed to providing the best available
evidence-based clinical information to participants of this
educational activity and requires an open disclosure of any
potential conflict of interest identified by our faculty members.
It is not the intent of the ACCP to eliminate all situations
of potential conflict of interest, but rather to enable those
who are working with the ACCP to recognize situations that
may be subject to question by others. All disclosed conflicts
of interest are reviewed by the educational activity course
director/chair, the Education Committee, or the Conflict of
Interest Review Committee to ensure that such situations
are properly evaluated and, if necessary, resolved. The ACCP
educational standards pertaining to conflict of interest are
intended to maintain the professional autonomy of the clinical
experts inherent in promoting a balanced presentation of
science. Through our review process, all ACCP CME activities
are ensured of independent, objective, scientifically balanced
presentations of information. Disclosure of any or no relationships
will be made available for all educational activities. |
