Continuing Medical Education (CME)
The Continuing Medical Education (CME) program at Piedmont Athens Regional promotes continuous improvement in patient health care by providing physicians and other health care professionals with convenient, high quality, evidence-based educational activities focusing on advances in medicine, medical technology, biomedical research, and changes in the health care environment. Our goal is to improve patient outcomes by enhancing physician knowledge, competence, and performance in practice. We are pleased to offer a variety of learning opportunities throughout the year for physicians and other health care professionals that include Regularly Scheduled Series, annual conferences, and other CME activities.
Piedmont Athens Regional Medical Center is accredited by the Medical Association of Georgia to offer AMA PRA Category 1TM continuing medical education for physicians.
