The Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) has awarded Dartmouth Health/Geisel School of Medicine at Dartmouth their highest academic designation, "Accreditation with Commendation," for Dartmouth's Continuing Medical Education Program. This designation places Dartmouth Health's collective academic organizations (Geisel School of Medicine, Dartmouth Hitchcock Clinics, Mary Hitchcock Memorial Hospital, and the Veteran Affairs Medical Center) in the top tier of accredited programs in the country. The decision is based on a self-study report, evidence of performance in practice, and an accreditation interview, all of which took place during 2017.
