Responsible Unit Review and Approval for CME Activities

As a Responsible Unit Reviewer, you play a critical role in ensuring the quality and relevance of CME activities. Before a CME application can be formally approved by the Office of Continuing Medical Education & Lifelong Learning (OCME&LL), the Responsible Unit Reviewer must confirm that the activity aligns with the unit’s educational, strategic, and financial priorities. By approving an application, you attest that:

• The activity is financially viable
• It aligns with your department’s educational mission
• The content meets accepted standards in medical science, clinical medicine, and healthcare delivery

Steps to complete your review and document Unit approval

Once the OCME&LL team has completed it's preliminary review, the Responsible Unit Reviewer is assigned and notified via automated email. When assigned to review an application, please follow these steps:

1. Visit the Application Dashboard at https://umich.cloud-cme.com/Application.aspx
2. Click the activity name to open the application.
3. Review the application details.
4. Scroll down to the Approval section on the bottom left.
5. Enter a comment, select Approve, and click Save.

Important Note

After you approve the application, it will remain visible in your Application Dashboard until it receives final approval from OCME&LL. Your approval does not complete the process. OCME&LL must assign a final Approver and officially approve the application before its status updates to “Approved.”
