About CAC

Since 1987, CAC has been serving the public interest by enhancing the effectiveness and accountability of health professional oversight bodies. We offer training, research and networking opportunities for public members and for the health care regulatory, credentialing, and governing boards on which they serve.

Created as a support program for the thousands of public members serving on health professional boards as representatives of the consumer interest, CAC soon became a resource for the health professional boards themselves.

Meetings

We are conducting two back-to-back day-long meetings at the conference center in our headquarters building.  We scheduled these meetings on consecutive days to allow those of you who wish to attend both sessions to do so with a single trip to Washington.

On Tuesday, June 12, 2012, experts will discuss aspects of the regulatory management of chemically dependent health care professionals. There will be plenty of opportunity for discussion from the floor. Download the Program Announcement (with Registration Form and hotel information).

On Wednesday, June 13, 2012, an international faculty will talk about the approaches they are taking to measuring clinical performance as part of a continuing competency program.  Members of the audience will be invited to share their experiences, as well.
