Learning

ACOEM members, special interest sections, component societies, councils, committees, and others are encouraged to submit course content of interest to members. Submissions will be collected and reviewed by the Council on Educational and Academic Affairs (COEAA).

The COEAA will review submissions to determine if they meet member needs and criteria for ACOEM education offerings. Upon COEAA approval, the COEAA will submit content submission for board approval.

A moratorium on all new courses is in effect until the end of 2024. Submissions will be reviewed during the 2025 calendar year. We are still accepting webinar topics and proposals for consideration.

Criteria Requirements for Course Content Submission

• Course objectives align with ACOEM vision, as it relates to OEM audiences.
• Course objective meets a need or skills gap not available in ACOEM education offerings.
• Course application meets ACCME (Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education) accreditation standards if CME is being awarded.
• All recommendations for patient care must be based on current science, evidence, and clinical reasoning while giving a fair and balanced view of diagnostic and therapeutic options. Content should be free of commercial bias.
• All scientific research referred to, reported, or used in support or justification of a patient care recommendation must conform to the generally accepted standards of experimental design, data collection, analysis, and interpretation.
• Although accredited continuing education is an appropriate place to discuss, debate, and explore new and evolving topics, these areas need to be clearly identified as such within the program and individual presentations. It is acceptable to facilitate engagement with these topics without advocating for, or promoting, practices that are not, or not yet adequately based on current science, evidence, and clinical reasoning.
• Ensure your activity does not advocate for unscientific approaches to diagnosis or therapy, or promotes recommendations, treatment, or manners of practicing healthcare that are determined to have risks or dangers that outweigh the benefits or are known to be ineffective in the treatment of patients.
• Faculty possess expertise in one or more areas of interest that is/are pertinent to the OEM.
• Faculty possess advanced speaking skills and well-received by meeting audiences, i.e., demonstrated by favorable feedback from recent ACOEM presentations based on evaluation reports, as well as reports from speaking at state and national meetings, if available.
• Disclosure of all proprietary, financial, or other personal interests. If content meets all criteria, disclosed conflict of interest information does not preclude content from being approved.
