Joint CME Sponsorship Through the MOA

Offer AOA credits at your next CME program!

The Maine Osteopathic Association (MOA) is recognized by the American Osteopathic Association (AOA) as an Accredited Category 1 CME Sponsor. As an accredited sponsor, the MOA is pleased to offer Joint Sponsorship of CME activities by non-accredited organizations. Here is an outline of the CME credit types we support.

In order the MOA to jointly sponsor and offer credits for your program, we must ensure that the all AOA CME Guidelines have been met.

Quality Guidelines

All CME programs developed by CME Sponsors for AOA credit must:

Address one or more of the AOA seven core competencies or the Osteopathic Tenets

For AOA 1A Content to be approved, at least 50% of the total educational credits must be presented by osteopathic physicians.

A completed practice gap analysis that outlines the professional practice gap or educational need that the education will address, robust learning objectives for each topic, and desired results or changes expected for the learner as a result of participating in the activity.
Credentialed subject experts on topics presented.
Active audience participation when feasible. This could include question and answer sessions; hand-on learning labs, and other types of interactive sessions.
Mechanisms for tracking attendance and maintaining CME records.
An evaluation and outcomes measurement tool.
Ensure appropriate facilities and equipment are provided to enable the faculty to teach effectively.
Proper management of commercial support and conflicts of interest, including signed Faculty Disclosure forms for all faculty members and planning committee members.
