Having accredited healthcare educational content can make all the difference in the world to a busy clinician. But the accreditation process can be complicated, time consuming, and daunting.
For over 50 years, Oakstone has been a leading publisher of continuing education content across more than 30 medical specialties. In addition to our CME products, we also offer joint providership services to non-accredited educational institutions seeking to offer medical and dental programs that provide credits linked to their programs.
Oakstone is accredited by the ACCME and approved by other leading healthcare accreditation bodies to provide continuing education for healthcare professionals. Through joint providership, Oakstone collaborates with non-accredited organizations to develop educational activities that meet accreditation standards and offer continuing education credit.
CERTIFICATION PROGRAMS
Since 2005, Oakstone has offered joint providership services for non-accredited educational providers that create their own medical and dental programs. These accreditations allow Oakstone to develop and jointly provide educational activities that may be designated for AMA PRA Category 1 Credit™, nursing contact hours, and continuing dental education credits, when applicable:
- ACCME Accreditation
- ANCC accreditation
- American Dental Association Continuing Education Recognition Program (ADA CERP)
Oakstone is one of the few joint providers recognized by the leading accreditation bodies in three distinct healthcare specialties.
STREAMLINED ACCREDITATION PROCESS
Oakstone strives to make the process of joint providership as easy and hassle free as possible. Our six-step process takes applicants from initial document submission all the way to final formalization and registration.
Our team works closely with applicants to explain the process, communicate requirements, exert required oversight, process applications, and register final accreditation documentation.
WHAT MAKES OAKSTONE ACCREDITATION SERVICES DIFFERENT?
Applying for joint providership service can be a complex process. At Oakstone, we’ve optimized our services to provide applicants with end-to-end process support. Benefits of our process include:
- Track Record – Applicants work directly with the Oakstone Director/Continuing Education who has years of accreditation/joint providership experience
- Consistency – Because we have low staff turnover, applicants can expect to work with the same person throughout the application, processing, and final registration process
- Speed – We work to review applications, professional practice gaps, needs assessments, and faculty disclosures in a timely fashion while adhering to the ACCME Standards for Integrity and Independence.
- Personalized Experience – Applicants communicate directly with our Director/Continuing Education. They don’t get passed around to a large administrative organization with limited knowledge of their application.
- Learning Management System (LMS) Services – Oakstone can host learner assessments, activity evaluations, and certificate generation through its proprietary LMS, providing a streamlined experience for participants and activity partners.
