NC-CME Donors

The CCMEP is the only credential that designates qualified individuals as Certified CME Professionals. Certification benefits these individuals as well as the organizations that employ them by offering evidence of competence and continuous professional development. By advancing the profession, NC-CME strives to enhance the credibility of CME/CHE/IME as an independent, self-regulated enterprise in the interest of the public's health. 

Certification fees provide the largest source of operating funds for the CCMEP program; in 2010-2011, registrations from NC-CME programs provided more than 73% of total revenue. Additional funding will be required to ensure continuous monitoring and updating, exam content within a strong and stable infrastructure. 

NC-CME is a 501(c)(3) tax exempt organization; donations are tax-deductible to the extent of the law and donors receive acknowledgements for tax purposes. No goods or services are received in return for charitable contributions.
