The promise
You provide the content. We provide the accreditation and compliance.
Joint providership is often explained in ACCME language and almost never explained in plain English. Here it is: you own the education. We own the accreditation, and the legal and compliance accountability that comes with it. Your organization is named as the joint provider on the activity and in every learner-facing material, which is how the credibility transfers to you.

FAQs
Frequently asked
It means an ACCME-accredited provider — iiCME — takes accountability for accrediting an educational activity that your organization develops and delivers. You are credited as the joint provider. We are the provider of record.
No. Faculty, clinical content, and teaching approach stay with you. What we review is whether the activity meets ACCME requirements: is there a documented practice gap, are the objectives measurable, are disclosures handled, is the content free of commercial bias.
Plan on roughly 12 weeks from intake to a live activity for a first engagement, and less once the relationship exists. The gating items are usually faculty disclosures and needs-assessment documentation, not anything on our side.
Yes — accreditation fees are scope-driven and quoted per engagement. Scope depends on format, activity count, credit hours, whether commercial support is involved, and how much operational work sits with us. One scoping conversation produces a written proposal.
That is a legitimate outcome and we will help you get there. Several clients use a joint providership period to build internal capability and documentation habits before pursuing their own ACCME accreditation.
