Dear CME Team and Committee Members,

Thank you for taking the time to fill out this questionnaire. As a reminder, the feedback received from this questionnaire will make up the majority portion of the needs assessment the CME Program is conducting in order to begin developing the CME Team Development Plan; a requirement for Commendation Criterion 34, which we have chosen to pursue for our 2022 re-accreditation with commendation as discussed at the May CMEC meeting. 

In order to allow us time to analyze the information and begin developing the plan prior to the August CMEC meeting, we ask that you complete and submit the form by July 2nd, but to not feel pressured to answer every question. We only ask for honest, thoughtful feedback to those questions you feel capable of answering.

For an overview of Criterion 34, see below:
