**Have you experienced CME ?? Or what are you take on CMEs??**
As a medical student/young doctor, I found CME vital in bridging the gap between textbook knowledge and real-world clinical practice. Attending CME sessions exposed me to current guidelines, cutting-edge treatments, and expert insights that textbooks often lack. It boosted my confidence during rotations and helped me make more informed decisions. Most importantly, CME fostered a habit of lifelong learning, which I now see as essential for providing the best patient care.
I believe that beyond obtaining CME credits, these educational activities provide a great way to learn about the latest topics in your field of interest. From a knowledge point of view, they provide great learning opportunities.
