- Evaluate their current practice
- Obtain new skills in reaction to evolving science
- Stop practices based on old evidence when new evidence shows that what was working is no longer

- Is there any other way we can ensure the health care workforce is adapting to a scientific field with constant change and that their practice is up to date and effective?
- How else can we ensure that our physician and health professional workforce is giving us the most ROI for our health care dollars?
Let's consider:
- What we see now
- Calls for change in CME
- Changes that are currently happening
- Changes that will likely happen
- How can CME utilize and adapt to technology
