Â
Continuing Medical Education (CME) - The process by which healthcare professionals engage in activities designed to support their continuing professional development. Activities are derived from multiple instructional domains, are learner centered, and support the ability of those professionals to provide high-quality, comprehensive, and continuous patient care and service to the public or their profession. The content of CME can be focused not only on clinical care, but also on those attitudes/skills necessary for the individual to contribute as an effective administrator, teacher, researcher, and team member in the healthcare system. Note: CME is often used interchangeably with continuing professional development (CPD).
Â
Continuing Professional Development (CPD) âThe learning journey of the healthcare professional as he/she seeks to improve her/his competence and expertise. This learning journey is supported by continuing medical education and other personal/professional activities by the learner with the intention of providing safe, legal, and high-quality services aiming at better health outcomes
for the patients and the community.
Note: CPD is often used interchangeably with continuing medical education (CME).

Gilbert C FAURE's insight:
Alignment with learning preferences: As millennials now represent the largest segment of healthcare professionals, social media delivers the interactive, technology-driven experience they seek.
2ïžâŁ Accessibility without barriers: Social media platforms eliminate geographical and financial obstacles that prevent many practitioners from accessing quality CMEâparticularly crucial for those in rural or underserved areas.
3ïžâŁ Real-time knowledge application: Platforms like Twitter/X and TikTok enable immediate feedback through polls, knowledge checks, and peer discussion, reinforcing learning in ways traditional formats cannot match.
4ïžâŁ Microlearning opportunities: Today's busy clinicians benefit from shorter, focused learning segments that can be consumed between patients or during brief breaksâexactly what social media platforms excel at delivering.
5ïžâŁ Community building: Beyond content delivery, social media hashtag#CME creates communities of practice where professionals can discuss cases, share insights, and collectively improve patient care long after formal education ends.

For those interested in European CME (and beyond), there is a report from the 17th European CME Forum (ECF) that convened in Madrid, Spain in November 2024, in the Journal of CME https://lnkd.in/emhBj28P. It is a great review of the conference prepared by two of the organizers, Cara Macfarlane and Eugene Pozniak.
I was pleased to have led the Lunch with the Learners session, where we had a great conversation with Dr Ranj Bhakar, a surgical trainee from Devon, UK. During these sessions, held at every ECF, we provide opportunities for providers and learners to talk about the current environment of CME, and to identify opportunities for improvement through dialogue.
It was also a great pleasure to facilitate, together with Katie S L., a breakout session about the Transtheoretical Model of Readiness to Change, first described by Prochaska and DiClemente https://lnkd.in/ef_ggBxy, and its applications in CME and CPD.
If you are interested in learning more about ECF, and the upcoming meeting in Manchester, UK in November, follow this link https://lnkd.in/eSze_PUp.
From advances in targeted therapies to the integration of AI and steps towards precision medicine, 2024 brought many exciting developments in the field. With 2025 now unfolding, many of these are likely to continue gaining momentum and potentially redefine patient care.
