North American Association of Medical Education and Communication Companies

The North American Association of Medical Education and Communication Companies (NAAMECC) was a professional trade organization representing companies that specialized in certified medical education and healthcare communications. Established in the early 2000s, the association served as a unified voice for medical education companies (MECs), advocating for their role in the continuing medical education (CME) ecosystem. NAAMECC focused on maintaining high ethical standards, ensuring independence from commercial influence, and navigating the regulatory landscape defined by the ACCME and PhRMA guidelines. The organization provided its members with resources for professional development, networking, and best practices in educational design. In recent years, its functions and membership have largely transitioned into the National Association of Medical Education Companies (NAMEC).
