Whereas the profession has in the past demonstrated an interest in accreditation of certain institutions involved in the delivery of medical services, and
whereas the profession is currently demonstrating an interest in the matter of encouraging the establishment of minimum standards of professional practice in the office setting, and
whereas the acknowledged purposes of such standards of accreditation are to facilitate peer review and continuing professional education, and
whereas the profession has demonstrated its willingness to participate in such voluntary self assessment procedures,
Be it resolved that the Canadian Medical Association accept the principle of practice accreditation and continue to search for acceptable methods of practice assessment and accreditation and encourage each of its divisions to establish or enjoin committees to examine the matter of office practice accreditation, with a view to establishing procedural guidelines and standards for their various regions.
