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.
Recently launched, Nano Banana 2 is an AI image model that combines high-fidelity output with rapid generation speed, enabling precise, prompt-driven visual creation across Gemini’s platform. The tool enhances image accuracy, text rendering, and subject consistency, allowing users to quickly generate infographics, labeled diagrams, and educational visuals with minimal iteration. For CME/CE professionals, Nano Banana 2 can streamline the development of teaching materials, such as patient education graphics and evidence-based infographics for presentations. Additionally, built-in tools and content credentials promote transparency in AI-generated materials, an important consideration for maintaining trust and transparency.
The Interprofessional Education Collaborative (IPEC) Core Competencies, cited by Joint Accreditation as a useful resource for providers, emphasize that effective interprofessional collaboration is foundational to delivering safe, equitable, and patient-centered care across healthcare settings. Organized under a single domain of interprofessional collaboration, the framework includes four key competency areas: values and ethics, roles and responsibilities, communication, and teams and teamwork. These guide healthcare professionals to respect diverse perspectives, clarify roles, communicate effectively, and engage in shared decision-making to optimize patient and population health outcomes. By integrating these competencies into CME/CE activities, healthcare professionals can enhance collaborative practice skills, support lifelong learning, and ultimately improve patient care outcomes.
As featured in a recent McKinsey article, pharmacy is rapidly evolving from a behind-the-counter function into a central clinical and strategic hub, with pharmacists now embedded across care teams, care settings, and enterprise decision-making. As health systems integrate retail, specialty, and “homepital” models, pharmacy is uniquely positioned to drive continuity of care, improve adherence, and reduce total cost of care through data, AI, and coordinated medication management. For the CME/CE enterprise, this transformation underscores the importance of interprofessional education that builds competencies in team-based care. As well, designing education that spans beyond clinical and places emphasis on operational and leadership domains may very well be essential to preparing pharmacists, and the broader care team, for this type of evolution.
