A minute of insights.

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.

Elevating Visual Impact

Many already use it, but if you’re not: Canva. It’s worth your time becoming acquainted. Sure, you’ve likely used it for the occasional invite or photo collage, but consider it for creating clean slides, infographics, and summaries that support educational outcomes and meet learners’ needs. You can apply your organization’s color palette and use the accessibility checker to ensure clarity. No graphic design skills required. Engaging design helps learners focus on evidence-based content.

Physician Well-Being Is Patient Well-Being

The AMA’s October 2025 article “Prioritizing Physician Well-Being Prioritizes Patient Health” underscores clinician wellness is both a moral and operational imperative for quality care. Nearly half of U.S. physicians report burnout fueled by administrative overload, insurer conflicts, and loss of autonomy. Through its Joy in Medicine® Health System Recognition Program, now honoring more than 160 organizations, the AMA promotes measurable, system-level reforms that reduce burden, enable team-based care, and restore meaning in practice. For CME/CE professionals, identifying ways education might support clinician well-being could serve to advance patient safety and outcomes.

Interesting Insight: Personalizing Organizational Change

Change management is entering a new era where organizational transformation aims to be tailored, responsive, and human-centered. Organizations are using AI-driven sentiment analysis, communication analytics, and performance signals to detect friction points, forecast resistance, and deliver role-specific nudges and training. McKinsey frames this shift as a move toward “superagency,” where AI doesn’t replace people but amplifies human agency through co-created workflows and empowered decision-making. Success in this landscape depends on leaders building trust with accessibility, transparency, and governance, while integrating AI into workflows.
