As a thought experiment aligned with healthy perspectives, picture this…
With 100 MDs in a room at an academic medical conference, a highly-respected Person @ the Podium poses this query to colleagues:
| | | |
“Since improved health literacy provides beacons of hope for optimum quality of life outcomes, raise your hand if you believe patients don’t deserve better opportunities to make fully informed medical decisions.” | | |
After a moment to consider, how many hands are raised?
ZERO…
Why? Because Patient-Centrism should always be a Guiding Principle and admirable North Star.
| | Beyond “above all, do no harm” moral compass is an aspiration to Do Better. | | |
On a similar wavelength, CME is considered a core element of professional development. While CME is required, it is worth asking who it’s for. By definition…
Continuing Medical Education (CME) is fundamentally designed to instill lifelong learning and maintain clinical competence among healthcare professionals, directly addressing the rapid evolution of medical science, technology, and evidence-based guidelines. The primary rationale is to improve patient outcomes and safety by bridging knowledge gaps between current research and clinical practice, thereby reducing medical errors and ensuring that care aligns with the latest standards.
While meeting formal requirements is one essential aspect of professional credentialing, Whole Person Care-focused CME should be an influential catalyst that personifies Sense of Purpose. In other words, CME is not just about ME.

“Wherever the art of medicine is loved,
there is also a love for humanity.”
–Hippocrates
| | |
This reminds us of the Quality of Evidence pyramid, originally featured in April 2022’s Volume 107
“As a 2016 Journal of Critical Care editorial expressed:
“‘When Sir Francis Bacon published in his work, Meditationes Sacrae (1597), the saying: ‘knowledge itself is power,’ he most likely wanted to transmit the idea that having and sharing knowledge is the cornerstone of reputation and influence, and therefore power; all achievements emanate from this. Today, scientific knowledge is shared through publications that not only inform, but have the capacity to influence decision making.’
“Regarding scientific knowledge, distinct levels of evidence have a hierarchy:”
| | |
“To Level Up, we compare:
-
Observational: Individual Case Reports detail the demographics, diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up of 1 patient.
-
Experimental: Randomized Controlled Trials (RCT) assign participants (by chance alone) into either experimental or control groups. With quantitative analysis, studies measure and compare outcomes after participants receive different treatments.
-
Critical Appraisal: Meta-Analysis statistically and systematically combines independent study results (often 1000’s of patients) into a body of research which collectively assesses effects or risk factors associated with specific treatment options.
“While clinicians typically determine which level of amplification technology best fits each patient, skilled educators also distinguish between different levels of research references. At the pinnacle, Critically Appraised evidence of the highest quality should, most understandably, be integrated into consultative dialogue. In community, especially when seeking to credibly build interdisciplinary relationships with physicians, these guiding principles are imperative. Trusted educational curators earn more opportunities to expertly assist those in need. Be one.”

It is fascinating and highly productive to reputably position Did You Know? comorbidity education as CME initiatives for fellow healthcare professionals, their teams, and patients. To paraphrase, high-integrity competitive advantages can be gained via continuously earning a trusted place as one who Medically Educates peers about how:
- Hearing Loss relates to many common medical conditions
- Better Hearing is Better Healthcare
Doing so in exemplary ways demonstrates leadership on aforementioned goal:
“The primary rationale is to improve patient outcomes and safety by
bridging knowledge gaps between current research and clinical practice.”
