This document discusses trends in continuing medical education (CME). It notes that physician participation in CME is growing, as are the number of educational activities and non-commercial sources of funding. Mobile devices are increasingly important for CME, with most physicians using smartphones and tablets. Clinicians face more requirements for certification and credentialing. Hospitals have more influence over physicians and CME activities. Barriers to participation are rising due to shortages, costs, and more fragmented educational interests. Marketing of CME must adapt to these trends, such as through mobile and technology-enabled strategies.
