EXCEL has as one of its focuses the multi-cultural diversity of our
country. We tailor our programs to these markets through:
- Programs offered in several languages such as Spanish, Creole, Indian
dialects, as well as English.
- Activity topics centered on research and data pertaining to minority
populations including Women, African-Americans, and Hispanics.
- Educating healthcare professionals on how cultural diversity impacts
the health outcomes of minority patient populations and the healthcare
system.
- Taking the lead as the only ACCME-accredited provider in the nation
that has this focus.
EXCEL handles all of the administrative needs for a CME program, from
securing the funding for the course to verifying speaker credentials
to offering CME program attendees an opportunity to provide valuable
feedback about the effectiveness of the course or presentation.
- We complete the required paper-work (i.e. grant request letters,
applications, letters of agreement, etc.) to obtain the funds needed
to provide the CME, including site selection, speaker honoraria, travel,
food and beverage, etc.
- Speakers are then contacted and asked to provide a copy of their
CV, a copy of their slide presentation or abstract, and to complete
a speaker disclosure form. All of this information is reviewed by our
CME committee to ensure that the speaker is qualified to conduct a
CME lecture.
- Forms are provided to the participants on the day of the program
to evaluate the effectiveness of the program. This determines if objectives
were met, if the presenter facilitated the learning environment so
the participants cultivate a better understanding from the program
objectives. Participants are encouraged to make suggestions for future
programs. A summary of these evaluation forms are also given to the
grant provider.
EXCEL Continuing Education was established in the year 2000, and has
been providing CME & CE services for 5 years. The EXCEL staff has
a combined experience of over 40 years in Medical Meeting Planning & Logistics
and in the Pharmaceutical Industry.
