Thank you for your interest in planning an accredited Continuing Education activity with Vizient’s CE Program. 
 
As an accredited provider of continuing education (CE) Vizient is dedicated to ensuring that all educational content serves the needs of patients and the public, is presented accurately, balanced, with scientifically justified recommendations, supports safe and effective patient care, and creates a clear, unbridgeable separation between accredited continuing education and marketing and sales.
 
To ensure your proposed CE activity meets all the necessary requirements for accreditation, Vizient’s CE team must be integrally involved in the planning and implementation of the accredited CE activity.
