Why Continuing Medical Education (CME) Matters
Did you know that it takes an average of 17 years for new research submitted for publication to be broadly accepted in clinical practice? A key factor in closing the gap between best practice and common practice is the ability of health care providers and their organizations to rapidly spread innovations and new ideas.
That is where we come in. As a leading provider of continuing medical education (CME), Skin, Bones, Hearts & Private Parts helps accelerate the process of converting medical advances into common practice. Our best value CME conferences for NPs and PAs bring these advances directly into clinical settings, faster.
Is CME Effective? The Research Behind Best Value CME
Yes. Knowledge is power, and we have been committed to providing nurse practitioners (NPs), physician assistants (PAs), registered nurses (RNs), and physicians with the CME they need. Our programs help clinicians maintain medical licenses, preserve board certifications, and keep up with new medical science so they can provide the best patient care.
CME delivers real, measurable results. Since the year 2000, deaths from coronary artery disease have been reduced by nearly 40%. That reduction is thanks to new drugs, new technologies, improved processes, and a greater emphasis on prevention. All of these advances are communicated by organizations like ours, committed to providing CME to health care professionals.
Another study has shown that virtual reality (VR) simulation is highly effective at demonstrating both construct validity (the ability to differentiate junior versus experienced clinicians) and skill transfer from the training environment to the operating room.
As stated in the National Library of Medicine, “successful CME must be truly continuous and not opportunistic, erratic or casual in order to be useful at the acquisition and retention of knowledge, attitudes, skills, behaviors and clinical outcomes. Improved CME practice must in turn lead to continuing critical reflection, practice modification and implementation with a focus toward the excellence of patient care.”
