Responding to the BMSAC’s Calls to Action
November 28, 2022
AFMC is working in partnership with The Black Medical Students’ Association of Canada (BMSAC) and the Network for the Advancement of Black Learners (N-ABL) to gather information about how Canada’s 17 Faculties of Medicine are responding to the BMSAC’s Calls to Action released in June of 2020, and to better understand the current national landscape of anti-racism initiatives and support for Black students and learners in medical education. 

The CACME Secretariat is pleased to inform that the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) has reaffirmed the Substantial Equivalency of the continuing medical education accreditation system of the Committee on Accreditation of Continuing Medical Education (CACME) with the continuing medical education accreditation system of the ACCME.

This recognition will be in effect until December 31, 2026. This substantial equivalency ensures that credits obtained from activities offered by a CACME-accredited office will be eligible for AMA category 1 credits in the US.
