Continuing Medical Education Platform for Medical Professionals

About the Client

Our client is a Continuing Medical Education (CME) provider and the creator of the ExchangeCME eLearning platform for physicians. The project is government-sponsored, meaning all training programs and certifications are provided free of charge to medical professionals.

CME programs are regulated by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) and the American Osteopathic Association (AOA). Their goal is to maintain and improve physicians’ competencies, address knowledge gaps, and introduce new medical practices and innovations.

CHALLENGE

In many U.S. states, physicians are required to complete a defined number of CME credits each year to maintain their medical licenses. These programs must follow strict accreditation rules, provide measurable educational outcomes, and issue valid certificates.

At the same time, doctors have extremely limited time, making in-person education difficult. The challenge was to create an online CME platform that:

• meets regulatory requirements
• supports structured learning and certification
• is convenient for busy medical professionals
• enables both online and live educational activities

SOLUTION

We developed a web-based CME platform that enables medical professionals to complete accredited courses, attend live events, track credits, and receive certificates - all in one system.

The platform supports both online and offline learning formats and provides tools for administrators and course authors to manage content and monitor learning outcomes.

Online activities for each medical topic allow users to get knowledge and certification in their respective fields. To earn credits and certificates, users need to pass the modules step-by-step. Only after watching the theory block can the user start the test. In case of mistakes, the user is sent back to the theory and is not allowed to take the test untill ending up with the theoretical part. The steps are:

Users can view the list of live events and register for them from the platform.

For each event they receive credits. After registration, events are added to the user’s profile with the information about CME credits for each event.

These are presentation slides, linked resources, suggested reading, clinical interactive guidelines, eBooks, and more. Everything is in one place and easily available.

Here all user information is stored, including all courses, scheduled live events, earned credits and certificates. With each passed course the user can print a certificate.

This is where admins can easily upload content and manage the platform. This includes user management, adding new activities, scheduling events in the event calendar, creating and editing questionnaires, and much more.

Admins and course authors can track the course statistics to see which courses are popular, their completion rates, and student scores. They can also drill down to find out the parts of courses that students find the most challenging.

In addition to that, there is also an opportunity to track sign-ups to live events as well as collect statistics from polls and surveys on the platform.

The system sends follow-up emails with a links to the tests to check the results of a course passed in some period after the first test. This allows the user to compare the results and identify the effectiveness of education.
