The Twelve: 01 Monday Mindset

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.

AI Tools Worth Exploring (if you haven’t already!)

AI in Medical Education: Whether brainstorming innovative learning formats, summarizing journal articles, or drafting professional practice gaps, AI can streamline CME/CE planning and design steps. Tools like Perplexity AI or Elicit can help providers quickly find evidence-based references for course materials.

ANCC Criteria Updates

The American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC) has released substantive revisions to its Nursing Continuing Professional Development (NCPD) Accreditation criteria, including updates to individual activity requirements and provider expectations. All accredited providers must fully implement these changes by July 1, 2026. The updated manual is currently only accessible for providers under the “Resources” tab within provider community website (login credentials required).  Now is the time to review updates and plan for compliance.

Trend to Watch

Precision Education in CME/CE: Precision education (i.e., personalized education) is becoming a healthcare learning focus, just as precision medicine has increasingly become a focus of both researchers and clinicians (reference the AMA’s Precision Education Grant Program). Platforms like Area9 Lyceum and Smart Sparrow use AI to tailor content based on a learner’s pace, knowledge gaps, and real-time performance, offering a more customized and efficient educational experience.
