Beyond medical newspapers:
Elsevier’s International Medical News Group is an educational partner with proven authority, credibility and reach. 

Mission
Elsevier/IMNG’s mission as an educational partner is to help physicians and allied health care professionals improve the quality of patient care.  Continuing Medical Education (CME)programs developed by Elsevier/IMNG are jointly sponsored with top-quality CME/CE providers such as the Elsevier Office of Continuing Medical Education (EOCME), Boston University School of Medicine, and the Skin Disease Education Foundation. Every Elsevier/IMNG CME/CE program is developed in accordance with Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) and, where applicable, specialty medical society guidelines.

Goals
The goals of Elsevier/IMNG education in conjunction with our accredited provider partners are to:

• Develop educational activities that will help form, maintain, and increase the knowledge and skills of physicians

• Design cutting edge educational programs that stimulate and engage physician participants

• Provide appropriate educational activities and opportunities on a local, regional, national, and international scale

• Respond to the clinical and practice management needs of the physician expressed through new technologies in the diagnosis and treatment of medical conditions

• Create innovative methods for Outcome Evaluations and Assessment to further measure changes in physician behavior and practice

• Meet or exceed the Essential Areas and Policies of the ACCME and the guidelines of the American Medical Association’s Physician’s Recognition Award (AMA/PRA)
  

The content of activities jointly sponsored by an Elsevier/IMNG publication and the accredited provider include specialty and subspecialty topics in the field of medicine as determined through continual Needs Assessment.  The scope of activities involves the body of knowledge and skills generally recognized and accepted by the profession as within the basic medical sciences, the discipline of clinical medicine, and the provision of health care to the public. All activity content is evaluated for objectivity, fair-balance, independence, absence of commercial bias, and scientific rigor.  Elsevier’s extensive editorial resources uniquely enable it to assemble expert faculty throughout the nation and the world.

Elsevier’s International Medical News Group (IMNG) has a 40-year relationship with health care providers by bringing them the most up-to-date and accurate clinical information from medical meetings. Elsevier/IMNG has built on the trust established with physicians by creating high quality customized medical education programs that help physicians care for their patients.

Educational programs associated with any of the Elsevier/IMNG family of publications provide immediate authority and credibility. They help build awareness for disease states and new and traditional therapeutic options among physicians.

Peer-to-peer learning has always been at the heart of medicine. Educational programs produced and delivered by Elsevier/IMNG—print-based, conferences, CD ROMs or web-based—will provide a forum by which key thought leaders reach out to their colleagues.
