Jointly accredited provider shows growing demand for flexible, multi-format CE/CME accreditation through partnerships with conferences, podcasts, and digital platforms.

AUSTIN, Texas, March 26, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Learn at Pinnacle, a jointly accredited provider of continuing medical education (CME) and continuing education (CE), announced today that it has surpassed 150 joint accreditation partners, marking a milestone in the facilitation and delivery of modern, flexible healthcare education.

Through its joint providership model, Learn at Pinnacle enables organizations to offer fully accredited interprofessional healthcare without becoming accredited providers themselves. By assuming responsibility for compliance, disclosures, evaluations, reporting, and certificate issuance, Pinnacle allows educators, media companies, and healthcare organizations to focus on creating meaningful, high-impact learning experiences.

"Before joint providership with Learn at Pinnacle, many of our partners described accreditation timelines of three months or longer. Our average partner launches their first accredited activity within 4 weeks. Reaching 150 partners tells us that timeline matters to educators."

— Natalie Crawford, MD, Chief Executive Officer

Joint Providership Model

As education increasingly moves beyond traditional lecture halls into podcasts, digital platforms, experiential events, and on-demand formats, many organizations face a growing challenge: how to offer accredited education without building an internal compliance department.

Under Learn at Pinnacle's joint providership model, partner organizations retain ownership of their content and audience. Pinnacle manages accreditation requirements, including:

• CE/CME compliance and documentation
• Conflict of interest and disclosure management
• Evaluation and outcomes tracking
• Certificate generation and learner recordkeeping
• Ongoing reporting and audit readiness

This approach enables faster launch timelines, reduced administrative burden, and access to CE/CME across more than ten healthcare professions.

"According to the ACCME's latest data, physician engagement with on-demand enduring materials has grown by 120% over the last few years as clinicians increasingly seek flexible education. The reality is that clinicians are already learning through podcasts on their commute, courses on their phone, and conversations at conferences. We built Pinnacle to close that gap, so great education doesn't go unrecognized just because it doesn't fit a traditional format."

— Pamela Mehta, MD - Chief Operating Officer

Industry Context

The Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) reported in its 2024 Joint Accreditation Data Report that the number of jointly accredited providers in the United States grew from 169 to 187, a 10% year-over-year increase, reflecting broader industry movement toward shared accreditation models.

A 2024 study published in the Journal of Continuing Education in the Health Professions found that 98% of healthcare professionals who claimed CE credit from medical podcasts intended to implement a clinical practice change as a direct result of the audio content. (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37079377/)

Learn at Pinnacle's growth from a single flagship conference in 2019 to 150 joint accreditation partners in seven years positions it among the fastest-growing joint providership networks in the medical education sector.
