Engagement with CME is required for maintaining practitioner licence in the United Arab Emirates. The CME environment in Abu Dhabi has been growing quickly, with rising numbers of activities and learner participation. Though Abu Dhabi’s Department of Health(DOH) has a history of regulating CME for its health professionals, it has typically relied on activity audits that have been inefficient and laborious. Consequently, the DOH evaluated and subsequently adopted international standards for provider accreditation and implemented a new model. That system incorporates eligibility standards, a digital system of registration, standards for ensuring learners are protected from advertising and promotion, expectations for educational outcomes, attendance verification, and program evaluation. DOH introduces an accreditation statement, set standards for activity documentation, data protection, and published a limited range of international systems whose credits could be recognized by DOH. Embedded in the new accreditation system is a restructured internal workforce, trained and supported to ensure accurate, consistent, and transparent accreditation decisions. DOH has supported implementation through a revised website, community meetings, provider training, and provider support services. DOH anticipates continuing evolution to support a culture of learning and competency management of the healthcare professionals in its workforce through CME, and in doing so support the delivery of high-quality healthcare to its citizens.","PeriodicalId":73675,"journal":{"name":"Journal of CME","volume":"9 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139228240","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Health care professionals who predominantly work with the paediatric population have limited training on how to screen, assess, and treat children after exposure. This study aimed to assess differences in learner outcomes between three healthcare provider types (PCPs, behavioural health providers, and other care team members [e.g. nurses, community health workers]) after participating in a continuing education programme designed to improve health outcomes of paediatric patients experiencing trauma. Learner outcomes were assessed as pre- and post-series changes in self-reported knowledge, self-efficacy, skills, and attitudes related to the programme’s learning objectives. Self-reported learner outcomes of 31 participants revealed significant increases in knowledge among all provider types, and significant increases in self-efficacy and skills for behavioural health providers and care team members. Additionally, results revealed that behavioural health providers significantly outperformed medical providers in self-efficacy and skills outcomes. These findings suggest that interprofessional continuing education programmes to enhance trauma care can be successful at training PCPs, behavioural health providers, and care team members, but learner outcomes may vary by discipline.","PeriodicalId":73675,"journal":{"name":"Journal of CME","volume":"54 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139254366","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The meeting began with sessions conducted by three special interest groups affiliated with the European CME Forum, but open to all registrants. The main part of the meeting comprised interactive discussion sessions conducted by presenters from North and South America, Europe, India, and Australia, which were interspersed with breakout workshops that tackled three themes, Innovation and Impact, Attitudes and Culture, and Environment and Community. A featured topic was the patient voice in education and insights were provided by the international delegates on their local frameworks for CME/CPD. Updates were also provided on harmonisation among international accreditors, and an important change to the Journal of European CME, that is closely linked to the European CME Forum, was announced. An oral presentation was made by one of the poster authors, and the perennial favourites “Lunch with the Learners” and the “CME Unsession” werealso included. The level of engagement displayed by the participants would seem to suggest that much of the recent fatigue associated with virtual meetings was mitigated by this live event.","PeriodicalId":73675,"journal":{"name":"Journal of CME","volume":"17 12","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135037659","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Because of America's long history of unethical medical and research practices and ongoing prejudice and bias, Black Americans have mistrust towards the medical community. This distrust, along with the social determinants of health, leads to low participation in health care. Health interventions at culturally \"safe\" and familiar venues are a popular strategy to engage Black Americans in health care. In the United States, barbershops are staples of the Black community and the utility of barbershops as a venue for delivering interventions has been successfully explored. We describe FADE OUT HIV, a program designed to increase barberknowledge of prevalence of HIV in the Black community; facilitatediscussions between Black barbers and their Black clients about HIVexposure, prevention, and treatment; provide free HIV tests forbarbers' clients; and educate community clinicians via live andenduring webcasts about HIV prevention and treatment. Clinician education was designed to facilitate HIV screening and ensure that the barber clients would be referred to clinicians who were knowledgeable about HIV. The learning objectives of the education were focused on barriers that prevent HIV screening and PrEP uptake and strategies to overcome these barriers, monitoring recommendations for people using PrEP, the benefits and limitations of new and in-development PrEP, and the importance of rapid initiation of antiretroviral therapy (ART). As a result of this programme, 308 HIV tests were administered to barber clients at hosted events in Los Angeles and clinician knowledge and competence increased by 33% and 34%, respectively.</p>","PeriodicalId":73675,"journal":{"name":"Journal of CME","volume":"12 1","pages":"2269074"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pub/pmc/oa_pdf/87/50/ZJEC_12_2269074.PMC10583629.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49685822","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
