James Creg

Following a national search, James Creg has been appointed director of the Office of Continuing Medical Education at the University of South Alabama. 

Creg said his initial goals are to continue the standard of excellence in the Office of Continuing Medical Education and to support its mission of providing educational programs for healthcare professionals designed to improve their skills, medical knowledge, and ability to deliver evidence-based patient care.

“CME is an essential requirement for healthcare teams, and it is rewarding to be part of that process,” he said. “My experience in CME has allowed me to be part of providing accreditation for medical relief workers all over the world.”  

Creg, who received a bachelor’s degree in biology from the University of Louisville, has spent the past 15 years working in continuing medical education. Most recently, he served as senior manager of curriculum development at the University of Louisville School of Medicine’s Continuing Medical Education and Professional Development program.

He and his wife of 33 years, Jamie Creg, have five children and two grandchildren. They moved to Mobile from Louisville in July and have thoroughly enjoyed the city so far.

“My wife is a children’s minister at a local church, and through USA and church activities, we have been warmly welcomed and have met some great people.”
