Core Elements to include:
- Clinical Content
- Briefly describe the clinical problem, gap in practice, or emerging issue being addressed.
- Explain why the topic is important or timely (e.g., new evidence, guidelines, unmet needs).
- Educational Need / Practice Gap
- Identify the knowledge, competence, or performance gap the activity is designed to address.
- This may reference:
- New research
- Changes in standards of care
- Suboptimal patient outcomes
- Variability in clinical practice
- Learning Objective (high-level)
- Summarize what participants should be able to know, do, or apply after completing the activity.
- Detailed objectives will appear in the next tab.
- Educational Format
- Describe the format briefly
- Live activity, case-based module, panel discussion, etc.
- Note interactivity (Q&A, case reviews)
- Describe the format briefly
- Expected Outcomes or Impact
- Explain how the activity may:
- Improve clinical decision-making
- Enhance patient care
- Support guideline-concordant practice
- Explain how the activity may:
- Optional
- Disease state or therapeutic area
- Setting of care (e.g., outpatient, inpatient, community practice)
- Evidence-based (e.g., guideline-driven, data from recent trials)
Example:
This CME activity addresses gaps in the early recognition and management of [condition], an area where recent evidence has led to changes in clinical guidelines. Through case-based discussion and expert analysis, learners will explore practical strategies to improve diagnosis, treatment selection, and patient outcomes in diverse care settings. This activity is designed for [target audience] involved in the management of patients with [condition].
The learning objectives must clearly state what learners will be able to do differently in practice as a result of the activity.
What learning objectives should include
- Measurable, learner-centered outcomes
- Objectives must describe observable or assessable actions, not teaching intentions.
- Focus on what the learner will be able to do after completing the activity.
- Specific knowledge, competence, or performance targets
- Knowledge: recall or explain information
- Competence: apply or integrate information
- Performance: change clinical behavior in practice
- Direct connection to the practice gap
- Every objective should address an identified gap in knowledge, competence, or performance.
- Accreditors should be able to clearly see why each objective exists.
- Clinically relevant actions
- Use real-world clinical behaviors such as:
- Diagnose, differentiate, assess, select, implement, monitor, adjust
- Avoid vague verbs like understand or be aware of.
- Use real-world clinical behaviors such as:
How learning objectives should be written
[Action verb] + [specific clinical task] + [context or patient population, if applicable]
Example:
At the conclusion of this activity, participants should be better able to:
- Evaluate patients with hypertension using current guideline-recommended risk stratification tools.
- Select evidence-based antihypertensive therapies based on patient comorbidities and recent clinical trial data.
- Monitor treatment response and adjust therapy to achieve individualized blood pressure goals.
Specify who the activity is intended for:
- Specialty (e.g., primary care physicians, cardiologists, nurses, pharmacists)
