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.
Amid the constant pace of clinical care, finding time for learning can feel like a challenge. Microlearning changes that. By delivering short, focused lessons that fit naturally into a clinician’s workflow, microlearning meets clinicians where they are – supporting continuous growth amid the realities of clinical time pressures. Tools like 7taps make it simple to create and access engaging, mobile-friendly modules that support learning on demand and in the flow of care. These small, actionable learning moments help reinforce best practices, improve patient safety, and support stronger outcomes across the healthcare continuum.
A decade-long scoping review (2014–2024) underscores the growing role of patient-reported outcomes (PROs) and measures (PROMs) in improving communication, satisfaction, and shared decision-making between clinicians and patients. While clinicians using PROMs gain clearer insights into individualized patient care, barriers such as inconsistent workflows, unclear interpretation, and limited follow-up persist. For CME/CE professionals, PROMs represent a shift from measuring what’s taught to understanding what’s experienced. As emphasis is placed on the patient voice, accredited CME/CE is well positioned to help clinicians translate patient insights into meaningful practice change.
The AMA’s new Center for Digital Health and AI marks a national push to ensure physicians can responsibly assess and apply artificial intelligence in patient care. Alongside its 2025 Federal AI Action Plan position paper, the AMA emphasizes “upskilling the physician workforce” through AI education spanning training to continuing education. By linking AI literacy to ethical practice, transparency, and bias mitigation, the AMA frames AI competence as essential to clinical excellence. For CME/CE professionals, this signals growing opportunity, and responsibility, to integrate responsible AI literacy into accredited education when positioned to do so.
