CME Accreditation Services

If you are interested in partnering with FSMB to jointly provide an accredited Continuing Medical Education (CME) activity, contact FSMB as early as possible in the planning process.  We recommend you first contact FSMB 6-9 months before the activity start date.

FSMB is your partner and your resource in planning an accredited CME activity. Our accreditation team is dedicated to ensuring an exemplary framework to handle your CME needs and will work with your staff to plan the educational program.  

The Joint Providership Activity Planning Worksheet must be completed and submitted to FSMB for all prospective CME activities three months prior to the activity. All joint providership requests are formally reviewed, and upon review of the activity educational program, FSMB will determine how many AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™ physicians will be able to claim for participation. 

Additionally, adherence to ACCME accreditation criteria and requirements is mandatory.  Therefore, we strongly encourage you to visit the ACCME website to familiarize with the ACCME guidelines and standards.

For additional information, contact Rose Edwards at redwards@fsmb.org, (817) 868-4037. 

General Information

FSMB must approve ALL materials (printed or electronic) that pertain to registration, educational program content, exhibits and marketing PRIOR to materials being printed, posted or distributed outside the joint provider organization. Additionally, no statement of credit can be printed on materials or promotional mailings without notification from FSMB that CME credit has been awarded by the FSMB. Once approved, FSMB will supply the correct accreditation language for marketing and other materials. Failure to abide by this can result in a cancellation of the joint provider agreement and forfeit of applicable fees.
