Researchers developed a novel post-COVID syndrome curriculum using flipped classrooms that they implemented at four Mayo Clinic continuing medical education (CME) conferences

This study evaluated the effectiveness of a WhatsApp (WA)-based community of physicians to encourage learning, knowledge sharing, and discussion among physicians in India.

Part of that educational focus on empathy and equitable care includes taking a holistic, patient-centered approach by addressing the well-being and mental health of patients. As a continuing medical education (CME)/continuing professional education (CPE) community, we typically address these topics if our own organizations produce therapeutic interventions to address them. Additionally, while we’ve spoken about HCP burnout and the nature of resilience in our collective work we do, we have few opportunities to address well-being directly in the patients we serve, and amongst ourselves. This article provides a powerful and deeply personal reflection on the intersection of healthcare, mental health, and the role of industry supporters in driving meaningful change within the CME/CPE community.

A major contributor to the global CME/CPD community and the European CME Forum, Ronald Murray, Ed.D., CHCP, FACEHP, was a member of the Alliance community for 27 years. In fond memory of Ron, whom we lost too soon, the Professionals with Educational Expertise, Resources, and Services (PEERS), a member section of the Alliance for Continuing Education in the Health Professions (ACEhp), has created a reference list of articles indexed on PubMed that relate to how CME/CPD is developed, delivered, accredited and financed outside the United States.

Researchers conducted a mixed-methods study to evaluate continuing professional development (CPD) success in the health professions.
