Health Education Leaders Launch Continuing Medical Education for Clinicians in Digital Medicine Boston, MA, April 20, 2022 – Today, the Digital Medicine Society (DiMe), Rocky Vista University (RVU) College of Medicine, and the American College of Osteopathic Family Physicians (ACOFP) launched a new library of continuing medical education (CME) courses as foundational education for practicing clinicians to learn how to effectively and efficiently leverage new digital approaches to caring for their patients. The Digital Health CME Certificate consists of eight modules on digital health, which clinicians can now sign up for here. “As digital medicine rapidly progresses towards becoming just plain medicine, a knowledge gap has emerged amongst our healthcare professionals.
