The Certifying Commission in Medical Management awarded the designation after the physicians completed required coursework and completed a 3½-day capstone event.

The most recent capstone, Feb. 21-24 in Tampa, Florida, produced 64 new CPEs.

CPEs from the past five capstones were hosted at the Summit's awards ceremony.

Before those attending were recognized, incoming commission chair John Jurica, MD, MPH, CPE, was introduced by AAPL President and CEO Peter Angood, MD, MD, FRCS(C), FACS, MCCM. Jurica, founder and medical director of PromptMed Urgent Care in Lake County, Illinois, earned his CPE in 2012.

Physicians who earn a CPE can more easily transition from a clinical role to a health care leadership position.

The association marked the 20th anniversary of the credential’s first full “graduating class” in 2018.
