The pharmaceutical industry widely recognizes continuing medical education (CME) as an effective and necessary way to keep healthcare providers up to date on clinical developments. However, with increased scrutiny and regulation from the likes of the Office of Inspector General (OIG) and the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME), pharmaceutical companies and their sales representatives walk a fine line with regard to providing financial support for CME activities.

The CME Training Handbook for Pharmaceutical Sales Reps—which includes a quiz, answer key, and certificate of completion—will help sales reps understand CME's importance to physicians and other healthcare providers, as well as the legal issues that affect a pharmaceutical company's support for CME.

This handbook gives you an overview of the two primary forms of CME activity; provides in-depth reviews of the organizations with major roles in CME, including the FDA, PhRMA, and the OIG; and discusses the relationship between CME accreditation and the ACCME.
