BASKING RIDGE, NJ, (September 5, 2006)—i3, an Ingenix business that provides services and solutions for the health care industry, announced today that it has re-named its accredited medical education unit “i3 CME” to better reflect the extensive services that the business unit provides, and to accommodate newly developed education delivery platforms. Originally named for its trend-setting distance learning network (DLN), which provides certified education via satellite broadcasting, web casting and Video DIALogues™, “i3 CME” also reflects the unit’s broad range of educational activities, including Grand Rounds, Independent Medical Education Forums (IMEFs), dinner meetings, symposia, online activities, interactive educational round tables (small group workshops), enduring materials, and outcomes measurements.
"i3 CME has had a rich history of leadership in certified education since 1996. But in the last decade, the CME environment has changed tremendously due to new requirements and guidelines from regulatory bodies,” said Richard Angello, i3 CME general manager. “This new name more completely defines our services and, in the future, will allow us to differentiate our areas of therapeutic specialization."
i3 CME is a full-service, accredited provider of certified education with strong capabilities in central nervous system (CNS), oncology, cardiology, and infectious disease. Its recent acquisition of psychCME, a leader in the CNS CME arena, further strengthens the unit’s CNS capabilities. This division will now be known as “i3 psychCME”, and will join i3 cardiologyCME, i3 oncologyCME, and i3 infectious diseaseCME to provide full certified education design and support in these key therapeutic areas.
