The Design and Evolution of an Adaptable CME Programme to Suit the Changing Educational Needs of the Clinical Community.

Continuing medical education (CME) plays a critical role in healthcare, helping to ensure patients receive the best possible care and optimal disease management. Considering the obstacles to engaging in CME activities faced by the clinical community, as well as employing learning theory, Liberum IME developed Classroom to Clinic™ - a bespoke, accredited learning format that can be tailored to individuals' educational needs and time constraints. Through monitoring use, and incorporating qualitative and quantitative feedback, we continuously evaluate the usability, value and accessibility of this programme and adapt subsequent iterations accordingly.

The Role of Digital Competence in CME Uptake: A Short Communication.

The digitisation of society has reached almost every facet of our daily lives. The COVID-19 pandemic has further showcased the role of information and communications technology (ICT) in society and so much so in continuing medical education (CME). This has provided the CME industry with remarkable opportunities to design better educational programmes and reach more audiences.

Increased Educational Reach through a Microlearning Approach: Can Higher Participation Translate to Improved Outcomes?

The quality of continuing medical education (CME) is frequently measured using the Moore's Level of Outcome framework, with higher-level outcomes (5 and above) perceived as more valuable than lower-level outcomes (such as Level 3 - knowledge). Higher-level outcomes require more rigorous evaluation, increasing the time requirements of an interaction; however, there is a trend among adult learners towards a preference for shorter, more informal education such as microlearning. This allows for greater reach but prevents outcome evaluation to higher levels.

Chromosomal aberrations in human lymphocytes exposed to the anticholinesterase pesticide isofenphos with mechanisms of leukemogenesis.

Human lymphocytes were exposed to the leukemogenic pesticide isofenphos (IFP) to investigate its effects on chromosomal DNA and cholinergic homeostasis using cholinesterase activity as a marker. Isolated peripheral lymphocytes were administered concentrations of IFP ranging from 0.1 ng/ml to 10 microg/ml.

DNA damage assessment by comet assay of human lymphocytes exposed to jet propulsion fuels.

Exposure to jet fuel damages DNA and results in a number of physiological changes in liver, lung, immune, and neurological tissue. In this study the single-cell gel electrophoresis assay or comet assay was used to compare the DNA damage in human peripheral lymphocytes produced by three jet propulsion fuels: JP-8, JP-5, and JP-8+100. These fuels consist of complex mixtures of aliphatic, aromatic, and substituted naphthalene hydrocarbons.
