In 2 weeks the Annual Fall SACME meeting will be held in conjunction with the Annual AAMC meeting. This year’s meetings are in Boston. As the President-elect of SACME I help put together a session at the SACME meeting on current hot topics in the field. The line up can always change at the last minute, but at present include a diverse set of short presentations on topics like the upcoming IOM report on a CME Institute, ACCME changes mentioned in testimony before the Senate Ageing Committee, as well as a series of updates on things happening at MACY Foundation, Council for Medical Specialty Societies and others. I am also very excited to participate in a session on establishing a research focus in one’s CME office. Some innovative instructional design will be leverage during this session.
I have also been asked to speak at two additional sessions outside of the SACME meeting. I will be presenting on The Future of CME at the AMA Section on Medical Schools meeting and on CME as a Value Center at the Council of Deans session at the AAMC meeting. I am honored to have been asked to do either of these presentations and excited to be able to contribute in some small way to these important meetings.
