✈️ Just returned from the 7th Sun Yat-Sen Medical Education Conference in Guangzhou, China—an inspiring gathering of health professions educators featuring faculty from mainland China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Macau.

I was deeply honored and humbled to be invited as a keynote speaker, where I shared insights on Best Practices in Global Continuing Professional Development (CPD) and Interprofessional Continuing Education (IPCE). My sincere thanks to the organizers for the opportunity to learn with and from so many passionate colleagues.

One takeaway I emphasized: CPD deserves a larger and more explicit role in medical education conferences around the world. While undergraduate and postgraduate education often take center stage, it's vital to recognize that clinicians in practice require different kinds of learning—and that means CPD educators must develop a distinct set of competencies to meet the needs of busy professionals in real-world settings.

What struck me most was the shared curiosity and commitment to improvement that unites health professions educators globally. Despite different systems and cultural contexts, we are all working toward the same goals: better education, better care, and better outcomes.

And the food? Let’s just say I now have strong opinions about my love for the local Guangzhou food that emphasizes fresh and natural ingredients. If you know me, you know how adventurous I can be in the things that I eat! 🥢🔥

Looking ahead, I’m excited to share that the next big opportunity to connect in the region will be at the Asia Pacific Medical Education Conference (APMEC) in Yiwu, China, January 21–25, 2026. Mark your calendars and learn more here:

🌍 CME is Global. Are You Ready?

Because as CME writers, we need to know:
📌 CME in Europe isn’t structured like CME in the US.
📌 Accreditation, funding, and formats vary widely.
📌 Language, compliance, and stakeholder priorities shift across borders.

Inside WriteCME Pro, we talk about all of this—and more. Our members are building freelance businesses that flex across systems and borders.

If you're ready to specialize and scale your writing practice in CME/CE, come join us.

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.
