Renaissance School of Medicine at Stony Brook University

The Office of Continuing Medical Education (CME) was established shortly after the opening of the Medical School and since 1979 has been fully accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education as a national provider of CME. After ACCME’s latest review, Stony Brook was awarded Accreditation with Commendation, their highest performance rating. All our CME activities are evidence-based and free of commercial bias.

The Medical School has about 860 faculty members representing all specialties of medicine who are available to teach within our active CME program. Their teaching translates cutting-edge research from the laboratory to the bedside and into office practice. Inter-professional training is facilitated by the proximity and culture among the several professional schools within Stony Brook Medicine, our academic medical center.

Purpose:
The purpose of Continuing Medical Education is to maintain and improve physician competency to optimize patient care by means of offering quality learning experiences for physicians. These activities should permit physicians to fulfill CME requirements for relicensure, maintenance of certification, hospital privileges and medical or specialty society membership.
