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.
Make is a no-code visual automation platform that connects applications through drag-and-drop workflows. Users build “scenarios”, sequences that pass data and trigger actions across more than 3,000 integrated apps, including common tools like spreadsheets, email platforms, and learning management systems. For CME/CE professionals, potential use cases include linking evaluation submissions to certificate generation, calendar or deadline triggers for sending faculty reminders, or automating communications tied to activity completion. The platform also supports AI-powered steps for tasks like data analyzing or text processing within a workflow. Because Make operates across systems rather than within any single one, it functions as a bridge between tools that might not otherwise communicate.
A new JAMA Viewpoint authored by ACCME President and CEO Graham McMahon, MD, MMSc, takes a look at what AI means for how physicians learn. Drawing on real-world experience with clinician-facing large language model–based systems, the article explores the promise of just-in-time, patient-specific guidance that can embed learning directly in care. The article also includes the risks: persuasive, fluent AI outputs can carry incomplete or inaccurate recommendations, foster automation bias, and create an “illusion of explanatory depth” that erodes clinical expertise when accepted uncritically. AI-supported education and the instructional design process to develop quality education matters. The article calls for transparent, clinician education about AI failure modes, and safeguards to keep AI-enabled learning free of commercial influence – all principles worth keeping front of mind as AI becomes more embedded in program design.
Just last week, Melinda French Gates committed an additional $215 million to women’s health initiatives, bringing her total investment in the space to more than $600 million over the past two years. The funding targets several historically underfunded areas, including menopause and midlife care, contraceptive access, maternal health, and the integration of mental health into primary and maternal care. For CME/CE providers, this investment is another signal that women’s health is gaining visibility as a priority area for healthcare systems, policymakers, and funders. Educational gaps surrounding menopause management, maternal mental health, and health equity remain substantial across many professions and care settings.
