Using Technology and the Web to Enhance, Support, and Deliver CME

(cmeprofdev.acme-assn.org)

The World Wide Web offers up a wide range of possibilities for medical specialty societies looking to expand, enhance, and further support their CME offerings. The list is seemingly endless: from things that support learning like Webbased CME search tools, discussion boards, online registration, CME transcript services, and interactive learning plan portfolios; to online CME and e-learning itself via Web-based educational courses, Internet Point-of Care activities, Web-based quality-improvement courses, webinars, podcasts, and wiki's.

In this 60 minute session, Scott Bradbury, Director of E-Learning at the American Academy of Pediatricians (AAP), will present and describe various e-learning technologies and methodologies that support CME and are in-use at the AAP. CME providers can learn from what has worked and what has not for the AAP and use that knowledge to make smart decisions about what methods and modalities might fit the best into their own efforts to use the Web to enhance and support their CME offerings.
