Peer Reviewers for Continuing Education Applications

The Interprofessional Continuing Education (IPCE) Committee seeks reviewers with specific interest and expertise in subject areas relevant to the educational applications submitted to the Continuing Education (CE) Department.

Participating in peer review of the interprofessional educational is a vital responsibility that ensures the quality, originality, and reliability of the continuing education activities and is integral to the Joint Accreditation process. Ad hoc peer review is recognized as an essential component of a clinician educator’s curriculum vitae or resume as it demonstrates one’s ability to apply his/her knowledge and expertise in determining the educational worth and accuracy of a continuing education application.

Please contact the CME Department if you are interested in becoming a peer reviewer.
