The ACCME accreditation system is supported by
more than 150 volunteer surveyors. Accreditation surveyors are
vital in helping the Council meet its mission and objectives. Their
knowledge of the CME industry and the ACCME's Elements and
Policies make them ideally suited to assist the Council by
conducting interviews with accreditation applicants and by
providing the Council with necessary documentation of preliminary
compliance findings.
We are proud that CME Enterprise President Bruce J. Bellande, PhD,
FACME, CCMEP, has been a site surveyor for ACCME since 1990 and has
conducted over 60 site surveys of ACCME-accredited providers and
applicants across the country. In addition, Dr. Bellande assists
the Council by leading educational workshops offered by the ACCME.
His leadership role in industry is widely recognized and
contributes to continuous quality improvement in the accreditation
system and continuing medical education.
