📣 New podcast episode 📣
"Future-ready CPD: Balancing innovation with human connection​".

On today’s episode Lisa Sullivan is in conversation with Journal of CME 2026/27 Special Collection Guest Editors Jann Balmer and Maureen Doyle-Scharff,
https://lnkd.in/ery8DFJS

The conversation explores how technology interfaces with the work of healthcare professionals. It is not just about AI, technology or innovation, but about the broader interface of all factors that go beyond just knowledge acquisition, including collaboration and team-based learning, that has an effect on clinical practice with the potential to make an impact on patient care.

More information about the 2026/27 Special Collection can be found on the journal website: jcme.org

The podcast is available as video on YouTube and Spotify, and audio on all other platforms.

Collaborating with Holly Harris, Charlotte Denniston, Tina Penick Brock, and Sophie Soklaridis has been such a joy.

This article was a wonderful way to reflect on what we’ve learned as we’ve been developing a values-based partnership together 😊

Reflecting on the first ever CME/CPD conference hashtag (#)

From a distance last week (for reasons many of you know), I followed several Alliance sessions focused on global CPD. At the same time, recent conversations with both CME/IME/CPD providers and supporters working across regions have been circling around many of the same questions.

Together, they reinforced an observation that continues to surface across regions:

There is no single model of global CPD.

There are only local systems, each shaped by culture, regulation, healthcare delivery, professional expectations, and available resources. And levels of CPD Literacy vary greatly between countries and regions as well.

Across countries, CPD systems range from highly mature to still emerging, and many look very different from those we are accustomed to in the US or Europe. Yet we often approach international education as if successful models can simply be cut-and-pasted.

A few lessons that experience, and research published over the past several years in Medical Teacher, the Journal of CME, and Asia Pacific Scholar (copies available upon request 😎), continue to reinforce:

• Running a symposium at an international specialty conference in another country does not, by itself, make an organization a “global” provider.
• Accreditation cannot be assumed, and sometimes should not be the starting point (but should always be researched and considered).
• Learner needs are always local, even when challenges appear global.
• Educational formats require adaptation, not replication.
• Translation changes language, not context.
• In many regions, “providers” may not exist or function as they do in the US or Europe, and some provider types may not be recognized by some systems or by learners.
• Being accredited at home does not guarantee legitimacy elsewhere.

Perhaps the most consistent insight, emerging both from research and ongoing conversations, relates to people rather than systems.

We have a global faculty preparation gap.

Many CPD faculty are exceptional clinicians and subject matter experts but have never been trained in how professionals learn once they are in practice. At the same time, many experienced health professions educators are trained to teach students and trainees, yet have not developed competencies specific to lifelong learning in complex clinical environments. There are still many places in the world where a lecture by a subject matter expert is the only form of CPD available.

This challenge appears across systems regardless of maturity level.

Global impact rarely comes from exporting education. It comes from developing educators and designing learning that fit local realities, local partnerships, and local practice environments.

Both providers and supporters are trying to balance global ambitions with meaningful local impact. The organizations making the greatest progress tend to start with listening, humility, and local collaboration before scaling solutions.

Thinking globally matters.
Designing locally is essential.

We are proud to announce the official title of our new journal:
📰 European Medical Specialist Review ✨

A sincere thank you to everyone who contributed with their ideas 🙏
Your inputs demonstrate the engagement and warm welcome for this new journal. 👩‍⚕️👨‍⚕️
 
The European Medical Specialist Review marks an important milestone for UEMS — a new platform for all, UEMS members and non members, to advance and trigger reflection, to influence the present and shape the future of specialist medical practice and training across Europe.

The inaugural issue will be release in connection with the 1st UEMS Congress in May 2026.

🚀 The official launch comes soon! Stay tuned for more information

📘 What is an ELM Course?
An ELM Course is a structured set of related learning modules designed to provide in-depth education in a specific field.
✅ To claim CME/CPD credits, learners must complete the entire course — partial completion does not qualify.
⚠️ Once an ELM Course is accredited, its content and format are fixed for the full accreditation period.
Any changes require the submission of a new application.
🎓 ELM Courses ensure consistency, quality, and transparency in accredited medical education.

📍 Last Saturday, UEMS-EACCME hosted the meeting of the UEMS Advisory Council on Continuing Medical Education (CME) in Brussels.

🤝 The Advisory Council brings together colleagues from National Accreditation Authorities (NAA), National Medical Associations (NMA), as well as UEMS Sections, European Specialty Accreditation Boards (ESABs), and other partners involved in UEMS EACCME® accreditation to exchange on current issues and shape the future development of EACCME and medical accreditation in Europe.

🔍 The main topic of the meeting was the EACCME-accredited provider status, with a presentation of the ongoing work and progress achieved so far, followed by an exchange of insights, comments, and feedback from participants.

📊 The EACCME 2025 Report was also presented, highlighting the remarkable work and commitment of the accreditation team and its partners in the field of accreditation, including reviewers and experts involved in the process.

📅 Participants were reminded of the upcoming UEMS Congress, taking place on 27–30 May 2026 in Leuven, Belgium 🇧🇪.

💬 The discussions were highly productive, generating valuable insights and further reinforcing collaboration in European medical accreditation.

Certification périodique : ce que les responsables formation des établissements de santé doivent savoir maintenant

Les 52 référentiels de certification périodique sont publiés depuis le 26 février 2026. 1 438 pages couvrant les 7 professions de santé à ordre.

Voici les informations clés à retenir pour votre établissement :
Le téléservice national Ma Certif'Pro Santé ouvrira en novembre 2026.

Développé par l'Agence du Numérique en Santé, il permettra à chaque professionnel de suivre son parcours de certification sur les 4 axes réglementaires.
Les employeurs disposeront d'un accès dédié au téléservice pour suivre leurs professionnels salariés, conformément au décret n° 2025-1335. Cet accès permettra notamment d'être alerté lorsqu'un professionnel est identifié en risque de non-réalisation de son programme.

L'automatisation sera progressive. En V1, seules les attestations de l'ANDPC, de l'ANFH et de la HAS seront remontées automatiquement. Pour les formations réalisées via d'autres organismes ou en interne, vos professionnels devront saisir manuellement leurs actions. L'ouverture à d'autres fournisseurs est prévue en V2, après 2027.

En attendant, vos professionnels doivent conserver toutes leurs attestations pour les actions réalisées depuis janvier 2023, date d'entrée en vigueur de l'obligation.

Ce qu'il faut anticiper dès maintenant en tant que responsable formation :
→ Recenser vos professionnels à ordre par profession et spécialité → Vérifier que les attestations des actions déjà réalisées depuis 2023 sont bien archivées → Planifier les actions restantes pour que chacun valide ses 8 actions minimum sur les 4 axes → Préparer votre organisation à la coordination employeur prévue par l'article L.4022-2

Le premier cycle est de 9 ans pour les professionnels en exercice en 2023. Le compteur tourne déjà.

Certification périodique des professions de santé : publication des référentiels.
Plus de 50 référentiels sont désormais publiés, précisant les actions permettant aux professionnels de répondre à leur obligation de certification périodique. Élaborés par les Conseils nationaux professionnels en lien avec la Haute Autorité de santé (HAS), ces référentiels structurent les démarches autour de quatre axes :
✔ actualisation des connaissances et compétences
✔ amélioration de la qualité et de la sécurité des pratiques
✔ relation avec les patients
✔ santé du professionnel
Ces référentiels constituent un cadre de référence pour accompagner le développement professionnel tout au long de la carrière.

Un nouveau décret pour accompagner la qualité des soins.
A partir de 2026 les actions DPC font partie du parcours de certification de chaque médecin. L’obligation triennale de DPC disparait.

It was a great week of learning and networking. Delighted to make up the majority of the record number of European participants attending the annual meeting of the Alliance For Continuing Education in the Health Professions.
Also a privilege to lead our session on cultural and generational considerations in European and global CME/CPD.
