The AFMC’s Response to Opioid Crisis Project has worked in tandem with the University of Montreal’s Center of Excellence on Partnership with Patients and the Public (CEPPP) and their patient subject matter experts (SMEs), to develop a Postgraduate Medical Education (PGME) and Continuing Professional Development (CPD) curricula on treating and managing substance use disorder and opioid stewardship.

The CACME Secretariat is pleased to inform that the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) has reaffirmed the Substantial Equivalency of the continuing medical education accreditation system of the Committee on Accreditation of Continuing Medical Education (CACME) with the continuing medical education accreditation system of the ACCME.

This recognition will be in effect until December 31, 2026. This substantial equivalency ensures that credits obtained from activities offered by a CACME-accredited office will be eligible for AMA category 1 credits in the US.
