Don't Be Kodak: Future-Proofing Your CME Strategy

Listen Later

In this episode of Write Medicine, I speak with Ginny Jacobs, Principal of Quality Catalyst Group, about the necessary disruption happening in continuing medical education (CME). Drawing from her recent co-authored Almanac article, Ginny discusses four major shifts in the field and what they mean for CME professionals.

Four Major Shifts in CME:
  • Increased use of technology, including artificial intelligence
  • Evolution in the science of learning and cognitive load
  • Technology utilization for clinical practice relevance
  • Development of adaptive and collaborative models across disciplines
    • Key Takeaways:
    • Data collection and analysis remain significant challenges for many CME organizations
    • The importance of "unlearning" outdated approaches while maintaining what works
    • Strategic alignment with organizational priorities is crucial for success
    • The field must evolve from episodic learning to sustainable, data-driven approaches
      • Looking Ahead:
      • Need for more systematic professional development in CME
      • Importance of collaboration to avoid common challenges
      • Focus on creating nimble educational systems with robust assessment
      • Emphasis on critical thinking and practical application
