    I was on the ACE website looking at programs that have been evaluated for graduate credit and I ran across the CMR Institute. It offers DL/self paced courses leading to it's Certified Medical Representative credential. It is apparently geared towards pharmaceutical sales reps. The link is here:

    Many of these courses have been evaluated by ACE for graduate credit. The CMR website does not list any prices, so I conacted them and learned that the fees for the program are as follows: $225 Enrollment Fee; courses are $160 per credit. Payment for enrollment is due at the time you enroll and payment is due for courses as you register for them.

    They also have partnerships with three RA schools that offer graduate degree programs and will accept CMR program/ACE recomended credits:

    The University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey
    Nova Southeastern University
    The University of the Sciences in Philadelphia

    The UMDNJ has a DL Master's degree in health systems for sure, but I do not know about DL offerings at the other two schools. A brocure for the UMDNJ/CMR program can be found here:

    Anyway, I thought that this would be interesting for anyone who is involved in Pharmaceutical Sales or Health Sytems/ Medical Practice management. I don't attend the UMDNJ or take courses through the CMR Institute, but I might have done both, if I would have found this program a year or so ago.
