Meddialog's Continuing Medical Education programs are designed to provide comprehensive and innovative continuing medical education activities to increase medical knowledge and skills, and ultimately change practice behavior, methods or procedures across various medical specialties. In order to achieve the highest standards in Continuing Medical Education, Meddialog has partnered with various National & International medical associations for programs across specialties .
Meddialog's CME activities are designed to meet the identified educational needs of physicians, surgeons, clinical researchers, and other medical educators at the local, regional, national & international levels.
Activities are provided through faculty-led programs. Specific activities include regularly scheduled conferences, topic-specific symposia and live activities. Activities jointly provided with medical bodies are occasionally offered. All CME activities conducted by us are accredited by various associations
The contents of our CME activities are based on topics from various specialties. Course content is determined through identifying learning gaps and the needs underlying them by utilizing the following sources: Scientific advancements in various fields of medicine and surgery Outcomes data used to evaluate current practice standards defined by practice guidelines Expert consensus statements Perception of the need by the intended audiences All CME activities are designed and implemented to enhance and update clinician's knowledge and skills, provide opportunities for dialogue and debate with peers and experts on covered topics, and support change in his practice behavior as necessary to conform with established bodies of evidence and clinical practice guidelines.
Meddialog is committed to assessing the impact and effectiveness of each of their activities and of the overall CME program. This is accomplished through a variety of methods including pre-test evaluations, post-event electronic evaluations, outcomes surveys and an annual program survey. We expect that the learners who participate in our CME activities will report a change in practice behavior, methods or procedures.
Meddialog's live CME activities include in-person conferences, courses, and workshops presented over one or more days. These cme's aims to offer the latest updates on diagnostic and treatment strategies associated with the relevant specialties .The goal of these courses are to provide the clinicians with education on best practices needed to improve patient outcomes & expand on current therapy options available. Apart from theoretical knowledge, our programs have live surgeries, hands on programs on cadavers as well as simulators which helps the clinicians to upgrade his skillset & also learn new procedures.
Podcasts are a new and growing resource that can be downloaded from the internet to computers and portable media devices, and can thus be consumed at an individual's leisure. Meddialog's podcasts can be accessed on demand as it is portable. The on-demand nature of podcasts has clear benefits for shift-working doctors—you might miss a scheduled lecture, but you can't miss a podcast. Most of the clinicians commute long distances to work, and also spend several hours a week exercising or pursuing other activities. Such people could make more efficient use of this time by listening to podcasts. Our podcasts provide overviews of topics and cover various relevant clinical aspects, those that focus on research, and finally those that cover the latest news stories in medicine. We refer to these as educational podcasts, research podcasts, and news podcasts respectively
Meddialog has a repository of self assessment modules which caters to all medical specialties, sub specialties & can assess the knowledge of the clinicians in a given subject. These modules are in the form of an MCQ. The multiple-choice question (MCQ) is the most commonly used type of test item incontinuing medical education examinations. Learning occurs at many levels, from simple recall to problem solving. We have incorporated various case studies in our modules which will help clinicians immensely in their practice. These MCQ's are structured in such a way that one cannot proceed to the next question without attempting the previous one which ensures total commitment & participation from the clinician.

Simulation is the creation of an artificial environment for education, assessment, and research & health system integration with the purpose of improving patient safety, effectiveness & efficiency of delivery of health care. This will also add to the understanding of the stress response of medical professional in the simulated environment. Digital simulators are a good tool for the practice of certain types of invasive procedures like Gastrointestinal Endoscopy & laparoscopy where the technology has not only simulated the internal appearance but also as appropriate haptic feedback making it actually feel & look like normal tissue
