Committee on Continuing Medical Education (COCME)

The mission/charge of the Committee on CME (COCME) is to:

• Encourage innovation in AAP continuing medical education (CME)/continuing professional development (CPD) activities.
• Promote active learning by providing educational resources and guidance to CME/CPD planners.
• Support the implementation of the AAP CME/CPD program mission statement: Acknowledging that bias and systemic racism negatively impact our patients, the AAP strives to provide learning that addresses bias, stereotypes, and structural determinants of health. Learning activities are designed to improve competence and professional performance for optimal patient outcomes and reinforce best practices of pediatricians and pediatric health care professionals.  

Teach Now. Learn How.
