PeerPoint Medical Education Institute

What PeerPoint Medical Education Institute does

PeerPoint Medical Education Institute is a privately held Illinois LLC (founded 1990, independent since 2012) that provides ACCME-accredited joint providership services to organizations that deliver continuing medical education (CME). Headquartered in Oakbrook Terrace, Illinois, the company serves a horizontal mix of customers including hospitals and healthcare delivery systems, group medical practices, ambulatory procedure centers, health profession membership organizations, schools of medicine, nursing homes, rehabilitation centers, and publishing or education companies. The company positions itself as a behind-the-scenes compliance partner, intentionally not offering competing educational programs of its own.

The company's service is delivered through two proprietary web-based platforms: CME BackOffice, which automates compliance documentation, faculty conflict-of-interest forms, electronic signatures across desktop/tablet/smartphone, and end-to-end grant proposal writing and submission; and CME Vault, a learner-facing system for online post-tests, evaluations, and on-demand certificate generation and retrieval. Both platforms centralize documentation that would otherwise be managed via email and file sharing. The company has held full ACCME accreditation since 2001 and earned Accreditation with Commendation in 2010 and again in 2022 (a six-year term, the council's highest recognition), anchoring a regulatory moat that is a prerequisite for any organization seeking to issue accredited CME through a joint provider.

PeerPoint operates a B2B services model with quote-based pricing tailored to partner size and activity scope, structured as an annual subscription/engagement fee. Go-to-market is direct via the peerpt.com website, contact forms, and customer referrals — with no channel partners, resellers, or active social media presence. The company reports serving "tens of thousands of clinicians annually" and exhibits unusually long customer tenure (6-20+ years across named logos), indicating strong retention. The firm operates with a small team (5 employees) led by President Jack Krasuski, MD (appointed 2025) and Director of Accreditation Kelly Kraines, CHCP (28+ years of CME experience).

Direct peers

• Postgraduate Institute for Medicine (PIM): Long-standing ACCME-accredited joint provider offering CME/CE across therapeutic areas with a comparable behind-the-scenes partnership model for medical societies and education companies. Directly competes for the same customer segments and similar joint providership contracts.
• Paradigm Medical Communications: ACCME-accredited provider of certified CME/CE activities with grant management and outcomes reporting capabilities. Overlaps with PeerPoint in serving medical education clients and providing compliance-driven accreditation services.
• RMEI Medical Education: ACCME-accredited joint provider of certified continuing education for healthcare professionals, with grant-supported activities and a similar behind-the-scenes partnership model for medical education providers.
• AKH Inc. ACCME-accredited joint provider offering CME/CE across medical specialties with emphasis on compliance and enduring activities. Directly comparable in serving professional societies and education companies seeking joint providership.

Others

• Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME): The regulator that accredits CME providers in the U.S. and sets the standards PeerPoint operates under. Not a competitor but the ecosystem gatekeeper whose standards and re-accreditation cycles directly determine PeerPoint's competitive position.

Broad incumbents

• Informa Connect (Informa's Life Sciences division): Large global events and education business running accredited medical conferences and CME programs. A broader incumbent with overlapping CME accreditation capabilities and the sales reach to capture demand PeerPoint targets via inbound only.
• MedBridge: Large, well-capitalized continuing education and patient engagement platform for healthcare professionals. While broader than PeerPoint (PT/OT focus and an enterprise SaaS model), it competes for clinician CE/CEU spend and is an indirect threat to niche CME providers.
