Blueprints for Connecting Theory, Philosophy, and Praxis in Continuing Education in the Health Professions

A special discussion with SACME and AMEE panelists

Monday, January 13, 2025
12:00 PM - 1:30 PM EST (6:00 PM - 7:30 PM CET)

Free for SACME and AMEE Members / $30 Non-Members

Session Overview

As a field, Continuing Professional Development (CPD) lies at the intersection of many disciplines. Tensions can occur as scholars from fields ranging from education to quality improvement seek to advance the practices and workplaces of health care professionals. Because of the diversity of people working to affect change within the field of CPD, it remains a challenging space to collaborate and understand the various philosophies, epistemologies, and practice of all those within the field.

In this article, the authors have proposed a meta-organizational framework for how we might re-examine theory, application, and practice within the field of CPD. It is their belief that this proposal might inspire others to reflect on how we can cultivate and invite diverse scientists and scholars using a range of theories to add to the fabric of the field of CPD.

We have accepted the invitation to reflect on this challenge and invite you to join us for this collaborative SACME and AMEE session of our Virtual Journal Club. We offer you a unique opportunity to connect with all three authors of this interesting paper, as well as the leadership of the AMEE CPD and SACME Scholarship reaction panel.

The countdown is on for the first-ever KDIGO GEMs (Guideline Education Meetings)—an exciting new virtual education program on the latest KDIGO Guidelines and evidence-based updates. Available in multiple time zones on January 13 and 14, KDIGO GEMs is designed to empower healthcare professionals with the knowledge and tools needed to understand and apply KDIGO recommendations in real-world clinical practice. The inaugural KDIGO GEMs will focus on glomerular diseases, offering an in-depth exploration of topics like Lupus Nephritis, ANCA-associated Vasculitis, IgA Nephropathy (IgAN), and Complement-Mediated Kidney Disease. Through interactive presentations and real-world case-based discussions, participants will gain insights into the most effective ways to apply KDIGO’s recommendations in their daily practice. Each session will also feature live Q&A opportunities, offering a chance to engage with leading experts on challenging clinical scenarios and cutting-edge strategies. "As an organization, KDIGO is dedicated to being responsive to the needs of the nephrology community," said Brad Rovin, MD (United States), Co-Chair of the KDIGO Glomerular Diseases, AAV, IgAN, and Lupus Nephritis Guidelines. "We had a lot of feedback on the Glomerular Diseases Guidelines, with many nephrologists wanting real-world examples of how to implement the recommendations and practice points in daily practice. The KDIGO GEMs program was developed to address this need. By focusing on practical, actionable insights, this program aims to bridge the gap between evidence and practice, empowering healthcare professionals to deliver the best possible care for their patients." Don’t miss this opportunity to connect with global experts, learn the latest advances, and elevate your approach to glomerular disease management. Learn more and register today!

HL7 Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR®) Connectathons feature hands-on FHIR development and testing. Implementers and developers come together to hold technical discussions that advance the FHIR specification, develop FHIR-based solutions, and exchange data with other FHIR interfaces. Connectathons are a great opportunity to work directly with FHIR developers and senior members of the FHIR standards development team.

Please note: The purpose of a Connectathon event is to engage in testing of the FHIR specification and implementations. While the FHIR Community thrives on perpetual learning, this environment demands preparation to participate in technical discussions, code review, and testing of a reference implementation or your own FHIR-based system. It is expected that by registering for this event you have adequately prepared by reviewing the FHIR specification and any artifacts specified on the track page, attended all participant information sessions, and established a connection with your track through the Track Kick Off or other work sessions.

A Winning Workflow: How a Resource-Constrained ACO Integrated AI to Slash Avoidable Admissions by 4% Tuesday, January 14 | 11:00 AM CT Join the webinar

While much of the current discussion on AI focuses on the technology alone, its integration into the workflow is an often overlooked but critical step that will determine its usefulness. This webinar seeks to remedy that by taking a clinician's perspective on the implementation of AI into the clinical decision making workflow. During this session, subject-matter experts will: Evaluate use cases pertaining to population health that could benefit from AI and how it can enhance existing workflows Explore common challenges clinicians encounter when integrating AI into their practice and discover effective strategies to address Learn how an AI-enhanced workflow enabled an ACO with limited resources to reduce avoidable admissions by 4%

Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias (AD/ADRD) are a collection of neurodegenerative conditions that can cause cognitive impairment and ultimately lead to the development of clinical dementia. These diseases pose a significant physical, emotional, and financial burden on individuals, families, and communities all around the world. Accelerating the development of effective strategies for preventing and treating AD/ADRD is therefore crucial to address the growing public health crisis posed by dementia and to provide hope to millions of people suffering from these conditions. A committee of the National Academies was convened to assess the current state of research on AD/ADRD and identify research priorities for treating and preventing AD/ADRD. The committee will hold a public webinar to discuss findings and recommendations from the resulting report. Questions from the audience about the report are welcome.
