The Wright Center for Graduate Medical Education’s Continuing Medical Education Office earns accreditation
The Wright Center for Graduate Medical Education’s new Continuing Medical Education
(CME) Office earned accreditation after a review by the Pennsylvania Medical Society’s CME
Advisory Panel.
After a virtual site visit on Nov. 19, the Pennsylvania Medical Society’s CME Advisory Panel approved initial accreditation of The Wright Center’s CME office through Feb. 29, 2028. Composed of volunteer physicians and educational consultants, the panel ensures high-quality, relevant educational content for health care teams, including state-mandated courses like child abuse recognition.
As one of the nation’s largest U.S. Health Resources and Services Administration-funded Teaching Health Center Graduate Medical Education Safety-Net Consortiums, The Wright Center is committed to building and strengthening formal learning environments that empower medical, health, and other related professionals to serve as educators in their fields of expertise, according to Nathan Cardona, director of enterprise scholarly activity, research, and Institutional Review Board administration.
In 2025, The Wright Center began establishing its CME Office. Accreditation from the Pennsylvania Medical Society now enables The Wright Center to offer CME credits to employees who participate in faculty development programs and other internal educational presentations.
“By providing CME credit for educational sessions that are conducted at The Wright Center for Graduate Medical Education, we provide an additional level of expectation of excellence from our presenters,” Cardona explained. “Having this accreditation will help our licensed doctors, nurses, residents, fellows, and other professionals in the organization by providing needed credits for their particular license or certification.”
