In many provider organizations, CME/CE is being challenged or underfunded. Are you getting the staff you need? Are you getting the budget you need? Do you fear losing influence and the resources to flourish and grow?

The panelists, who represent various provider types, will discuss their own experiences and observations when they engage in measurable clinician performance improvement. They will share their thoughts on what needs to be changed to elevate CME/CE to a new CPD model of enhanced learning, improved performance, and patient care. To become indispensable within our organizations, we need to focus our activities to impact issues that are the most important for our organizations. We will learn about strategies and tactics that succeeded along with ones that failed or were only partially successful in a variety of provider settings. Through this sharing of experiences, we will all be more cognizant of things we can try, and steps to avoid, to ensure the ongoing success of CE/CPD departments.
