ACCME Accreditation Requirements and Standards for Integrity and Independence in Accredited Continuing Education C-NEEDS: Activities built on the educational needs that underlie the professional practice gaps of the provider's own learners (Educational Needs, formerly Criterion 2)

What does C-NEEDS require?

Each activity must incorporate the knowledge, competence or performance needs behind the practice gaps of its own learners. The provider must identify a practice gap, determine the need underlying it, and design the activity to address that need, documenting the chain for every activity.
