The College of Medicine has once again received reaccreditation from the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) for its continuing medical education (CME) programs. This reaccreditation demonstrates that the College of Medicine continues to provide performance related, evidence-based education opportunities for physicians and allied health professionals, across all specialties and career levels.
“This reaccreditation is crucial for supporting the lifelong learning goals of physicians in the state of Tennessee and beyond. Reaccreditation reinforces our commitment to delivering high-quality education,” said Michael S. Kleinman, MD, assistant dean of CME. “This recognition allows us to continue to provide educational opportunities for medical professionals on our campuses, as well as the broader community of medicine with education offerings that advance clinical knowledge and improve patient outcomes.”
Reaccreditation was a year-long process that began in July 2024. The Chattanooga, Knoxville, and Memphis campuses worked in collaboration to write the self-study and provide information that demonstrated compliance on the activities selected for performance-in-practice. All three campuses participated in the site visit that was held in February. The ACCME decision report was issued in July 2025. The College of Medicine was found compliant for each criterion/policy and is accredited through July 31, 2029. The College of Medicine’s educational programs serve thousands of professionals annually, including practicing physicians, residents, fellows, and allied health professionals.
