Creating a Community of Care Through Innovative Education, Outcomes and Point-of-Care Tools
Through its focus on collaboration, IC-ONC creates communities based on shared experiences, opportunities for continuous learning and dialogue, and tools to be used at point-of-care. We look forward to discussing the educational opportunities and tools offered and how we are working to generate a lasting, reproducible, impact on treatment and patient communities. Our presentation will focus on 1) the power of partnerships; 2) practice-based tools and the science of implementation; and 3) community building via CE.

You Can’t Do That in CME! (View the archive)
Sponsored by Prova Education
While many of our days are spent working in some capacity on relatively straightforward programming (another RSS, anyone?), there is the occasionally wacky idea that comes along, forcing us to scratch our heads and wonder, “Hmm, is this something that can actually be accredited? And is it worth the trouble to find out?” This session will focus on the people that dove into specific unique programming ideas and found out that the answers can sometimes be “Yes. And yes.” Will you find this session worth watching? I don’t know.

Back to the Future (of CME) (View the archive)
Sponsored by Haymarket/myCME
For the 5th anniversary of CMEpalooza, we are revisiting one of our most popular sessions: The Future of CME: What Will CME/CPD Look Like in 5-10 Years? Our returning panelists will hop in Doc Brown’s DeLorean and reflect on their past predictions for the future of CME/CPD, which is now our present, then return to the present to offer new predictions for the future. Confused? Just watch Back to the Future II and it will all make sense.

CME Fads: Gone for Good or Coming Back Around? (View the archive)
Sponsored by Creative Educational Concepts
Bust out your pet rock, throw on your mood ring, and cuddle up with your Cabbage Patch Doll (but keep your Jams in your drawer – this is a family program) as we take a look back at recent CME Fads and wonder “Where did these come from? What happened to them?” We’ll look at concepts such as performance improvement CME, nontraditional funding models, gamification, and point of care CME, as we look back at their evolution and determine what lessons we can pull from their birth and demise.

Jake Powers, CME Detective – Accreditation with Complications (View the archive)
Sponsored by Global Education Group
The cigarette smoke rises slowly. The bourbon goes down easily. A dame raps incessantly on my door. She has a problem. A CME problem, of course. That’s why people come to me. They have problems and I fix them. I’m Jake Powers, the world’s only CME Detective.
The gritty underbelly of continuing medical education awaits me, where shadowy corners hide compliance issues and guidelines are always just around the corner. Care to join me? You sure you can handle it? Ready to solve some CME mysteries?
Yes? Good. Then take a shot of courage and grab your fedora and trench coat. We’ve got work to do. The CME industry needs us.
Join us on October 16 for the premiere episode of Jake Powers, CME Detective. Based on a character from the strangest, darkest corner of the mind of Derek Warnick, co-producer of CMEpalooza.

Don’t hit the “Shut Down” button on your laptop quite yet, because we’re wrapping up our Fall meeting with something new that may even put a little something extra in your bank account. It’s the first-ever interactive CMEpalooza quiz – 4 rounds, 5 questions each – covering all the bases in CME. You can play on your laptop or phone simply using the PollEverywhere app/website. You can even cheat and play alongside your colleagues if you want to – we won’t tell anyone.
