Cleveland Clinic CME - Monthly newsletter detailing  upcoming Cleveland Clinic live CME events available

Dear Colleague,

Cleveland Clinic CME - Celebrating 75 years of Excellence in Continuing Medical Education

New collaboration with Cleveland Clinic offers online medical education credits to British Medical Journal (BMJ) readers

The BMJ has joined forces with the Cleveland Clinic in the US to offer certified continuing medical education (CME) credits to all of its readers. The program will start with modules linked to BMJ research articles, chosen for their focus on important and clinically relevant questions, and whose findings are applicable to a wide cross section of readers.

“Because these are open access, this allows us to make CME activities available to all doctors and other health professionals wherever they are in the world and whether or not they subscribe to the BMJ,” explains Steven Kawczak, Associate Director at the Cleveland Clinic Centre for Continuing Education. “In time we plan to extend CME credits to other content on bmj.com, including clinical reviews, practice articles, and editorials.”

The Cleveland Clinic’s CME accreditation will ensure that BMJ CME meets demanding standards of effective educational planning and design as well as independence from commercial interests.

Yet another opportunity to earn CME from the Cleveland Clinic.
