ACCME’s AI guidance places responsibility for learner-facing AI dynamic content squarely with the accredited provider; it does not shift to a vendor, platform, faculty member, or partner. That makes vendor/platform contract language important. Vendor agreements must enable provider oversight, transparency, and control, including access to records of what the AI generated and how learners engaged with it. Three questions worth asking before signing: Can we obtain interaction logs on request? Will you notify us when the model, prompts, or source content change? Can we require correction or discontinue the tool mid-activity? Inability to answer “yes” to these questions may leave the provider unable to demonstrate the oversight required.
SACME’s call for abstracts for its 2027 Annual Meeting is open, with submissions due Monday, September 21, 2026, at 11:59 PM EDT. The meeting takes place May 2–5, 2027, in Montréal, Canada, and will be held in person only. Submitters choose oral presentation, poster, or either, and select from six categories, including a new Advancing CPD/CE Practice track alongside research, program evaluation, and best practices and innovations. Acceptance notifications go out in late November or early December 2026. SACME has published submission guidelines, review criteria, category-specific guides, and a policy on AI use in abstracts. Flash mentoring is also available through the Scholarship Committee.
A new West Health–Gallup survey finds that 25% of U.S. adults have used AI for health information or advice. Among recent users, AI generally supplements care: 59% used it before a doctor visit and 56% afterward, while 46% said it made them more confident talking with or asking questions of a provider. Yet 14% said AI-generated information led them to skip a provider visit in the prior 30 days – an estimated 14 million adults – and only 4% strongly trusted its accuracy. For CME/CE leaders, education will become increasingly needed to help prepare clinicians to engage patients who arrive with AI-generated interpretations of symptoms, medication side effects, diagnoses, and other health information. Education should build skills for evaluating AI guidance and correcting misinformation without discouraging engagement.
