The Undersea and Hyperbaric Medical Society is accredited by the ACCME to provide continuing medical education for physicians (MD/DO) but also seek approval through the National Board of Diving and Hyperbaric Medical Technology and Wound Care Education Partners for certification requirements for other allied health professionals. We offer directly sponsored courses that can be found on our calendar as well as joint sponsorship with other non-accredited organizations.

All CME educational activities developed and presented by the UHMS must be developed and presented in compliance with ACCME accreditation requirements-in addition to all the requirements of the AMA PRA program.

The UHMS can sponsor live CME activities or enduring materials CME. In each case, the UHMS Education Committee carefully monitors and evaluates CME activities to ensure that they meet ACCME, AMA, and UHMS requirements. The activity must be relevant to the practices of diving medicine or hyperbaric medicine. 

Please contact us if you have any questions.
