March 2009 – Accreditation with Commendation
At its March 2009 meeting, the Accreditation Council for Continuing
Medical Education (ACCME) granted the University of New Mexico School of
Medicine "Accreditation with Commendation." Ninety-seven providers
have been reviewed under the 2006 ACCME Accreditation Criteria and only five
medical school providers have received Accreditation with Commendation. Key
