Joint providership CME activities are defined as those in which a faculty member approaches OSU CCME on behalf of a not-for-profit organization outside of the institution to certify a CME activity for AMA PRA Category 1 Credit(s)™. A faculty member, for these purposes, is a regular faculty member employed by either the University or the Wexner Medical Center in a teaching, research, or administrative capacity. The proposed program must be one for which at least one OSU faculty member serves in the primary role of initiating, planning, and overseeing the educational content and quality. In addition, the faculty member’s chair must recommend approval of the program. The program must also be approved by the dean or his/her decanal designee. The joint providership must be with an established scientific or professional organization. The activity or the organization must be consistent with the academic, research, and patient care mission of The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center.
The following document must be completed in order for an activity to be considered for joint providership. Contact your CCME coordinator to obtain this form.
