Our mission

Enhancing patient outcomes & quality of healthcare

The purpose of our CME program is to enhance the clinical competency, knowledge and performance of our learners, resulting in improved patient outcomes and overall health in the communities they serve.

Our history

The industry standard in partnering with organizations for CME events

Formed and accredited in 1986, MECOP was originally designed as a small non-profit organization to accredit CME programs in Northwest Florida and to help physicians meet the relicensure requirements passed by the Florida Board of Medicine.

MECOP’s continued growth and success has allowed it to extend its mission beyond Northwest Florida, with partnerships throughout the US and beyond. The growing network of partnerships has expanded MECOP’s mission as an integral part of health care teams that work to integrate CME as a bridge to quality improvement, practice improvement and improvements in health outcomes.

We are a team of professionals committed to improving patient outcomes and the overall quality of healthcare.
