Medical Education Entities

Partnerships with medical education entities require additional review/consideration to ensure content validity and accreditation compliance. If you are looking for ADCES to provide accreditation pricing for your RFP, please note that we do not partner solely to provide a statement of credit for diabetes care and education specialists. Please contact CEapplication@adces.org  if you are a medical education entity and would like to partner with ADCES on your upcoming CE/CME activity/grant proposal. Please review the following before contacting us:
