Learn how to incorporate the latest research and scholarship into your CPD/CME practice. The CPD Scholarship Program is designed for both experienced and novice individuals who are looking to advance their research, evaluation, and scholarly skills. This program will kick off at the 2025 SACME Annual Meeting in Washington, DC (available both in person and virtually). Following the launch, participants will engage in monthly two-hour virtual sessions, culminating at the 2026 SACME Annual Meeting, which will also offer both in-person and virtual attendance options.

You’ll have the chance to develop your expertise in the investigation and evaluation of learning and change in CPD/CME. The small group and hybrid nature of the program allows attendees to network with professionals who are leading the evolution in CPD/CME research. With a focus on interactive learning, breakout discussion, and knowledge generation, you’ll be prepared to take the next step in your career within CPD/CME and contribute to the scholarship of CPD/CME.

Ready to catalyze your knowledge and skills to make a lasting impact in CPD/CME? Join us for this dynamic year-long program of connection and collaboration.
