Spend :01 of your time each Monday morning as Twelve:01 delivers timely tools, trends, strategies, and/or compliance insights for the CME/CE enterprise.
Nano Banana (Google’s Gemini 2.5 Flash Image model) is a generative AI tool that enables the creation and editing of images with simple text prompts. It can swap backgrounds, adjust details, merge multiple images, and maintain subject consistency across edits. For CME/CE, this could mean quicker production of teaching visuals, case illustrations, and patient education graphics. Oversight remains essential, but effectively, this could aid in more efficient workflows and timely, adaptable learning materials.
Harvard Medical School has launched a required four-year curriculum on climate change, environment, and health, built around five competencies that span pathophysiology, clinical care, equity, healthcare’s footprint, and advocacy. Early results show that most students found the theme valuable and improved their climate-health literacy. Authors of this research initiative stress ongoing assessment and expansion, as well as the significance of adapting competency frameworks to train future health professionals who are equipped to address the climate crisis and its ramifications for health and equity.
The United Nations has taken a historic step in AI governance, with 193 nations agreeing to establish an independent scientific panel and a global dialogue platform to anchor AI development in science, evidence, and public purpose rather than fear or profit (“The U.N.’s AI Turning Point.” Time, 25 Sept. 2025). This coordinated framework emphasizes inclusivity, access to public data, and connecting global rules with local, lived realities.
