As defined by the ACCME, Joint providership is when two organizations, an accredited provider and a non-accredited provider jointly develop and implement an accredited activity. The accredited provider (CME Outfitters) assumes responsibility for any CE activity when it is presented in cooperation with a non-accredited institution or organization. An ACCME-defined ineligible company (commercial interest) cannot take the role of the non-accredited entity in a joint provider relationship.
