Our experience, custom strategies and services will help to ensure successful CE events in spite of constant regulatory changes regarding CE support. Our belief is that the enterprise of certified Continuing Education is more important than ever. The majority of healthcare practitioners place great value on quality, fair balanced continuing education to help them stay abreast of the rapidly expand
ing knowledge base in healthcare. Yet, instead of grasping the need to match the demands faced by practitioners and increase the volume and quality of certified Continuing Education, we see a misguided focus on the control of the CE franchise, which fosters continued turbulence in the CE community. Much of this is driven by the very organizations that should be providing sorely needed leadership yet are failing to listen to the majority voice of their stakeholders. Certified Continuing Healthcare Education is a critical yet increasingly difficult service to provide. We see that most Commercial Supporters are finding it to be a significant challenge in managing their internal processes in providing support of quality programs in the face of the constant changes. While there are a few very vocal critics of industry support of CE activities, CE Symmetry is convinced that commercial support should remain an integral component in the provision of quality educational events. Our many partners in the accreditation arena including Continuing Education providers, state and national specialty medical societies and academic medical centers share this philosophy.
