Session Description
There can be a steep learning curve in continuing education in the health professions.  Between accreditation requirements, best practices, assessment, innovative design, and just learning the lay of the land, there are a number of potential pitfalls.  The co-presenters were both new to CME & CPD, although both had a history in other parts of the continuum of medical education.  Within their first year, this new leadership had to undertake the self-study process while developing direction for the future of the Division.  This session will be targeted at the new continuing education professional and will give practical tips on navigating their new role from a near-peer who is just on the other side of being new.  Specifically, we will detail the resources we utilized to complete our self-study (including ACCME resources, Alliance resources, and institutional resources) the method we used to plan and execute a strategic planning retreat (the first in our division’s history) for our stakeholders, and all of the help we found along the way to put order to our first year in the CE universe.  This will be an interactive session where attendees can share the resources that they have found with one another and network with other professionals who are new in CE.
