About CAC

CAC provides support for the thousands of public members serving on health care regulatory, credentialing, oversight and governing boards as representatives of the consumer interest. These citizen representatives are typically in the minority, and are usually without the resources and technical support available to their counterparts from professional and business communities. CAC is a not-for-profit 501(c)(3) organization created to serve the public interest by providing research, training, technical support, and networking opportunities to help citizen representatives make their contributions informed, effective, and significant.

CAC's priority projects include implementing continuing competence requirements for all health care practitioners, and the Practitioner Remediation and Enhancement Partnership (PreP 4 Patient Safety), involving hospitals and boards of nursing and medicine in the early identification of practitioners who need to improve their knowledge and skills.
