Physicians Academy And The Future Of Continuing Medical Education
Listen to the podcast:
I had the opportunity to talk with Lawrence Sherman (you can follow him on twitter now if you want). A medical education expert who took me through how the internet is changing continuing medical education (CME), who to follow and what trade shows to go to.
As CEO of the Physicians Academy, Lawrence has the unending task of keeping CME collaborative and focused on high quality. A quick review of their tag line says it all: Education | Medicine | Impact. But the organization is much, much more.
Following our conversation, I realized that the Physicians Academy is all about education. Their “CME Buzz” podcasts give one quick insight into the developing CME sphere of influence. What’s more, a few clicks will bring you to articles about: CME going green? How a flight attendent spurs the deeper meaning of CME? and more… The point of all of this? Lawrence is an expert, and someone we follow.
Questions for you:
1. How has the internet changed the way you experiene CME?
2. What controversy (or potential thereof) do you see altering CME?
3. What CME experts are you following/reading?
