CONTINUING MEDICAL EDUCATION PROGRAM
AFIP received a six-year accreditation from the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME). This is the highest mark that any ACCME-accredited provider can attain, and less than 1% of the several hundred providers nationwide receive this honor. This is a true testament to the quality of our program. We encourage everyone to take advantage of our expertise for the advancement of their own career, and to make a difference in the civilian and military medical community.
