One of the most important decisions Toshiba America Medical Systems Inc. (Tustin, CA) made when it embarked on the creation of a speakers bureau was the selection of its education provider, the organization that is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) to provide credits for medical education. Once needs-
assessment data were compiled, programming to meet these needs was developed, and suitable topics and speakers were identified, this group helped Toshiba create educational objectives, reviewed the presentation outlines and presentations, and made suggestions for changes when the plans fell outside ACCME's guidelines.
