"One of the advantages of an independent CME provider is an ability to look at a national picture. Academic medical centers, on the other hand, tend to focus on their own constituencies, and products that are important to that academic medical center but may not really change health on a national level."

"AAF-MED is looking at the practitioner and what his or her practice really needs. They are at the forefront of being able to provide educational material that will fulfill that need."

"I think that AAF-MED is well-positioned to provide appropriately structured CME and CE for the health care professional."

"The touchstone for accredited CME is that accredited providers must insure that the content of that CME is directly related to and relevant to the delivery of good medical care and, at the same time, that it is independent of any source of influence from the commercial supporter. The benchmark of “independence” is the bedrock of all decisions of the ACCME accrediting system, which have been in place for years, and which only recently have been fine-tuned with the new 2004 Standards for Commercial Support(SCS)."

"The nurse is arguably the most accessible healthcare professional to the patient. It is important that the nurse stay educationally and technically competent to improve the care of all patients. The ability to access Continuing Education (CE) that is educationally sound and independently accredited bolsters the nurse's competence and the patient's confidence in the nurse to effectively care for him or her."
