Correctional Medicine Institute

The Correctional Medicine Institute was established in 2000 as a nonprofit foundation open to all health care providers. Correctional Medicine Institute was founded because:

· The specialty of Correctional Healthcare is growing;

· Dedicated learning resources will help improve the quality of care in correctional medicine and attract the best professionals;

· The practice of Correctional Medicine requires specialized knowledge that is not always available in the general medical literature;

· There is a growing complexity of issues in Correctional Healthcare;

· Unique opportunities exist for information-sharing in Correctional Medicine;

· It is the right thing to do for our specialty!

Correctional Medicine Institute is affiliated with Johns Hopkins University faculty and the Society for Correctional Physicians for its educational programs.

ACCME accreditation of courses is provided by Johns Hopkins Medicine CME office and by the University of Oklahoma School of Medicine and Pharmacy. Correctional Medicine Institute does not promote the commercial financial interests of any group or company.
