CPE Recertification

CPE certification is effective for ten years. Like clinical boards that require re-certification to verify continued expertise in your field, the CCMM By-Laws (section 5.5 written in 1997) require Certified Physician Executives to re-certify after ten years to maintain their CPE status. However, you will never be required to recertify if you become a Fellow of ACPE.

For those physicians certified between 1997 and 2007, we are extending a grace period of ten years as we did not make clear the recertification requirement during your Tutorial.

Recertification: $600 fee

Become formally recertified by submitting the following to CCMM:

• A 5-minute video describing your accomplishments over the past 10 years with a particular emphasis on the past 3-5 years. (i.e., how you have contributed to the improvement of your organization or its products in ways that have enhanced patient care. using numbers whenever possible}.

• A letter attesting to the accomplishments described in your video and signed by your immediate supervisor.

• A 2-page description of how you have counseled or mentored a younger physician about the future of health care and medical management.

ACPE Fellowship: $100 application fee
