New Community of Practice for CPE Program DirectorsMar 15, 2024
Our ACPE colleagues, who serve as CPE Program Directors at their clinical sites, are responsible for the administration and management of CPE programs.

Revising CPE curriculum to meet changing ACPE accreditation requirements. Responding to shifting patterns and anomalies of student needs and characteristics.

I Thank Our Creator with Every Remembrance of Each of You…Mar 4, 2024
The ACPE Curriculum Committee and our awesome staff is hard at work putting the final touches on our annual conference! This year’s conference will be held May 19-23 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
