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.
Perplexity’s Comet represents a new category of AI-powered web browsers that combine traditional browsing with an integrated AI assistant capable of summarizing content, synthesizing information across multiple sources, and assisting with multi-step tasks directly within the browser. Rather than simply returning search results, Comet is designed to help users navigate, organize, and act on information while maintaining context across tabs (reduced tab-switching) and web pages. For CME/CE professionals, this emerging technology highlights how AI may streamline environmental scanning, literature reviews, guideline comparisons, and planning meeting preparation. As AI browsers continue to evolve, they offer another example of how generative AI is becoming integrated into the day-to-day workflows of education professionals.
Twelve:01’s independent analysis of the ACCME 2025 Data Report suggests the CME/CE enterprise is evolving in ways that extend well beyond modest changes in provider count or activity volume. While total learner interactions remained stable, growth in Joint Accreditation, expanding engagement from nonphysician learners, and the outsized reach of point-of-care learning formats all point toward a future centered on interprofessional, workflow-integrated education rather than traditional physician-only models. Our analysis also highlights emerging strategic questions around AI governance, outcomes measurement, and provider readiness as ACCME cites the expanding reality of AI-enabled learning environments. For accredited providers, the report provides trend data that gives insights as CME/CE professionals consider investments, innovation, and AI governance.
Patients for Patient Safety continues to elevate the conversation around the Patient Safety Structural Measure (PSSM), and their collection of attestation stories offers a compelling reminder that patient safety is ultimately about people. These firsthand patient accounts illustrate how organizational commitment to safety translates into meaningful improvements for patients – patients who will one day be one of us or a family member. For the accredited CME/CE enterprise, these stories reinforce why our work matters: designing education that equips healthcare professionals to improve practice, strengthen systems, and advance better patient outcomes.
