JOHNS CREEK, GA--(Marketwired - May 2, 2017) - Ebix, Inc. (
This award is the highest level of accreditation offered by the council to providers of continuing medical education (CME) for physicians. Accreditation with Commendation is awarded only when a CME provider is able to meet all 22 accreditation criteria, with no exceptions. This higher level of accreditation is awarded for six years, as opposed to the two-year and four-year terms received by most CME providers.
Ebix Chairman, President and CEO Robin Raina said, "This accreditation is a testament to Ebix's leadership in the medical education arena and to the dedication of our continuing medical education colleagues who work hard to bring the best of our services to the Company clients. We will continue to stand by our commitment to provide physicians, and the communities they serve, a tangible return on their CME investment."
