Providers interested in Joint Accreditation take notice! On June 11, 2019, modifications to the Joint Accreditation Criteria were announced along with a new option for commendation. These modifications are effective June 1, 2020, and parallel many of the advancements we have seen from ACCME with their criteria. This also means that, starting next year, Joint Accreditation applicants will have to seek commendation to secure six years of accreditation.
