Continuing Medical Education (CME)
Continuing Medical Education activities at Good Samaritan Hospital have been planned and implemented in accordance with the Essential Areas and Policies of the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) through Good Samaritan Hospital, Los Angeles.
Good Samaritan Hospital is accredited by the ACCME to sponsor continuing medical education for physicians. It is the policy of Good Samaritan Hospital to ensure fair balance, independence, objectivity and scientific rigor in all its sponsored programs. All faculty participating in sponsored programs are expected to disclose to the audience any real or apparent conflicts of interest related to the content of their presentations. Participating physicians should only claim those hours actually spent in each educational activity.
2009-2010 CME Mission Statement
Good Samaritan Hospital’s purpose of the CME Program is to broaden and enhance the competence and performance of physicians so they can provide and help facilitate high quality, evidence-based, and culturally relevant care to the patients they serve in the community.
The content of our CME activities will be designed so that it disseminates current, relevant, practical, evidence-based, cultural and linguistic competent, medical and scientific information. This information will be based on physician core competencies, hospital performance improvement initiatives, practice gaps in the knowledge, competence, or performance of our medical staff, and/or practice gaps in the current systems used in the hospital to facilitate the improvement of patient care.
Our target audience consists of physicians who practice at Good Samaritan Hospital, community physicians who use the hospital as a tertiary center, and physicians who on a national level desire to take advantage of the experience and expertise offered from the various specialty departments of care at the hospital. Other Healthcare professionals who serve as team members with physicians will be invited and included in the educational event.
