  • In considering requests to sponsor continuing medical education activities, the following guidelines have been developed.
    1. Active participation of a CRICO Patient Safety department staff member in the planning and/or teaching process.
    2. Explicit identification of practice gap(s) of CRICO-insured physicians supported by CRICO malpractice data.
    3. Clear alignment with CRICO’s overall mission and consistent with the malpractice target areas.
  • A guide to the CME activity application is available here.

FOUR WEEKS BEFORE YOU BEGIN THESE ACTIVITIES

Notify the CRICO Education Administrators with names and contact information for any new faculty and course planners   

  • CRICO/RMF must insure independence, objectivity, balance and scientific rigor in all its educational activities. All faculty, course directors, and planners participating in any CRICO/RMF program must disclose any real or apparent conflict(s) of interest that may have a direct bearing on the subject matter of an activity. All faculty and planner disclosure information must be available for approval with the course proposal.
  • All faculty changes must be approved by the Office of CME prior to the activity. CRICO/RMF cannot sponsor any activity that does not have complete information.
