Abstract
Continuing Medical Education (CME) is a necessary component in physician life-long learning. Based on the measured educational needs of physicians, CME activities help to improve the competence and performance of physicians and ultimately impact patient care. There are opportunities available to educators for improving the quality and availability of CME activities worldwide, as well as opportunities for regulatory and accrediting bodies to improve the overall global profession of CME.
