ACCME Responds to JAMA Articles Slamming "Medical Communication Companies"

A recent article in MeetingsNet digs further into discrepancies found in a study released earlier this month by the Journal of American Medical Association (JAMA) regarding continuing medical education (CME) and medical communication companies (MCC). Andrew Rosenberg, senior advisor to the CME Coalition, is quoted and describes the need for differentiation between accredited medical education companies and non-accredited medical communication companies.

The problem, says Andrew Rosenberg, senior advisor with CME advocacy group the CME Coalition, is that “there are so many inaccuracies and examples of unfounded innuendo contained in both the ‘report’ and the editorial, it is a challenge to enumerate them all.” Among the errors he cites are a failure to differentiate between accredited medical education companies that provide CME activities, and medical communication companies, which are not accredited to provide CME, but which do provide communications and promotional services to pharma and device companies.
