Greetings Former ACMEC Members & Partners,
As you may know, effective January 1, 2022 the Ada Canyon Medical Education Consortium became the Southwest Idaho Medical Education (SWIDME) program operated by the Southwest Idaho Area Health Education Center (SW ID AHEC), a program of Jannus, Inc. We are writing today to thank you for your patience as we have been working through the transition during the past few months and to share some exciting news.
LEARNERS
In early June, we will roll out the new SWIDME Attendee Portal where all things related to SWIDME Continuing Education activities will be housed. Through the Attendee Portal learners will be able to:
- Register for upcoming events
- Record attendance via mobile device
- Receive automatic reminders of events and required evaluations
- Complete evaluations to provide feedback for improvement and to obtain credit
- Automatically receive certificates for approved credit
- Track transcripts and certificates
The SWIDME Attendee Portal will continue to be housed through the CloudCME network, so there should be no need to learn a new online system. Until the new SWIDME Attendee Portal is live, you may continue to access your CME transcripts by visiting https://acmec.cloud-cme.com/default.aspx.
PLEASE NOTE: The ACMEC Attendee Portal will be down on May 26 & 27, 2022 but rest assured, all learner data will be migrated to the new SWIDME Attendee Portal.
PARTNERS AND POTENTIAL PARTNERS
We’re so excited to begin working with community stakeholders that share the AHEC vision of improving the distribution, diversity, and supply of the primary healthcare workforce, with a special emphasis on meeting the needs of rural and underserved areas. Organizations wishing to partner with SWIDME to deliver continuing education will be able to complete the following via the SWIDME Attendee Portal:
- Submit a joint providership application for a single activity, a one-time series of activities, or a regularly scheduled series of activities
- Submit all required application documentation and relative materials
- Submit payment of the joint providership fee
JOIN THE SW ID AHEC TEAM
We have a new opportunity for someone to join our team as a part-time Continuing Education Coordinator. The SW ID AHEC Continuing Education Coordinator will bring experience, skills, and passion for health care workforce development to help us create and grow our continuing education program into something truly special.

We ask that you share this opportunity with your appropriate contacts as we believe that our learners may be the best method of getting the word out about this wonderful opportunity!
STAYING IN TOUCH
The best way to stay informed about SW ID AHEC and SWIDME activities is to sign up for SW ID AHEC's monthly newsletter, Frontier Footnotes, which will take the place of the previous ACMEC newsletter and will be your go-to spot to find upcoming announcements on continuing education events. Frontier Footnotes also features information on all SW ID AHEC activities as well as information from our many community and academic partners. Click here to subscribe! You may also want to follow us on Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram and, of course, keep an eye on the SW ID AHEC Events Calendar on our website.
Once again, we thank you for your patience during the transition period and we look forward to meeting your continuing education needs in the future!
