What on earth is CME, and why should you care?
Definition (USA perspective)
What is CME? educational activities that
serve to maintain, develop, or increase the knowledge, skills, and professional performance and relationships a physician uses to provide services for patients, the public, or the profession. (AMA/ACCME )
What this means in Plain English:
CME consists of Educational activities that help practicing doctors to learn new information and skills to help them take better care of their patients.
Around the world CME, is becoming increasingly regulated.
CME
Most states require physicians to obtain CME credits to maintain their medical license.
Most Specialty Boards require CME for continued certification.
Most hospitals requires that physicians obtain CME credits for hospital appointments and re-appointments (credentialing).
Quality CME activities play a vital role in the life-time learning of physicians and other healthcare providers.
CME
The ACCME (Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education) was formed to monitor providers of CME in the USA.
CME is part of the system of accountability in healthcare
CME must be:
Based on valid content
Effective in improving practice
Linked to quality and safety
Independent of commercial interests
The ACCME’s job is to help ensure CME activities are of scientific merit and appropriate for the people who participate.
UVA School of Medicine is accredited by the ACCME to provide CME for physicians.

New Report Released: ATA’s Global Forum on Telemedicine: Connecting the World through Partnerships
The American Telemedicine Association (ATA) in sponsorship with the USAMRMC TATRC held the Global Forum on Telemedicine: Connecting the World through Partnerships in Las Vegas in September 2007. The goal of the forum was to bring together key stakeholders in global healthcare outreach. This report was generated as a result of this meeting and an International Roadmap for Action was developed that establishes a set of priorities and recommendations for action to improve healthcare using telemedicine and information technology (IT).

Information Overload
New Ideas?
CME & Telemedicine Projects
Nigeria's telemedicine project is a nine-site program, funded by the country's National Space Research and Development Agency (NASRDA) for the Ministry of Health. NASRDA has installed telemedicine equipment in two Nigerian hospitals, Ibadan Teaching Hospital and Maiduguri Teaching Hospital, as well as some additional, federal clinics throughout the country. Additionally, NASRDA provided a working telemedicine clinic in a bus that will travel to the most remote parts of Nigeria to provide primary healthcare services. Furnishing connectivity for the program, Nigcomsat-1, Nigeria's advanced communication satellite, links the medical data sent from the bus to the in-country hospitals, giving patients and doctors in remote areas access to expert care.
