For each activity, a core team—composed of a Manager of Scientific Affairs, Program Manager, and Managing Editor—works closely with key opinion leaders to develop timely content that is scientifically accurate and educationally engaging.
This work is supported by expert Medical Writers, Editors, and CME staff who ensure that information is understandable, usable, and compliant with CME requirements. INNOVIA's Director of Editorial and Accreditation Services, Director of Operations and Business Development, and Director of CME Services ensure the strategic direction, quality, and profitability of all team projects.
Editorial
INNOVIA's editorial team works closely with graphic experts to ensure superior educational and publicity materials that are:
- attractive

Working closely with program and science staff, Managing Editors develop content and production timelines, provide editorial and design oversight, and guide the development of all materials surrounding an activity. Managing Editors are supported by experienced Medical Editors who assist the science team with content presentation and accuracy, faculty preparation, and curriculum development.

Accreditation and Outcomes Analysis
INNOVIA "starts with the end in mind" when creating integrated CME-certified activities. We adhere strongly to the guidelines set forth by the ACCME in creating, preparing, implementing, and following up on each of our CME-certified activities.
With these key processes at the front-end development of all programs, we ensure that all content and associated extenders meet today's stringent CME/CE requirements—and lead to the identification of additional areas of learning and justification for continued high-impact educational programming.
Eve Wilson, our Director of CME, is frequently asked to speak at national CME industry meetings and serves on the Board of the North American Association of Medical Education and Communication Companies, Inc. (NAAMECC).
