YOUR CME Minute
During these times of social distancing, we, here at Natividad, are acutely aware of the limitations in the ways you can participate in your continuing medical education. Now, more than ever -- where evidence-based learning is paramount -- education in our every fast-paced changing field must be clear, accessible, and reliable.  

Our CME Program is proud to offer you our NEW Natividad Grand Rounds Podcast Series for CME credit. Our award winning accredited activities are now presented to you on your phone or desktop, here on campus or remotely.  

During these unprecedented times, finding the time in your schedule to attend educational activities is near to impossible. Hopefully, this new series will offer the flexibility you need to stay up to date with the breaking news in the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as updates in our field of medicine.  
If you have already received an invitation from uStudio, please accept this invitation and following the instructions to create an account and load the app. 

If you wish to receive an invitation, please request one.

The CME Program will be adding content at least once a week. You will be able to receive CME credit for listening after you complete a one (1) question Reflective Statement. This credit will be applied to your Natividad CME Transcript.

Natividad’s Grand Rounds Podcasts
Natividad’s Grand Rounds Podcasts is a series of audio activities geared to providers and related ancillary services professionals. 

Professional Practice Gap: Medical providers practicing in the acute care hospital and trauma center setting must evaluate and treat the widest breadth of clinical presentations in all of medicine. Diagnosis and management of these disease processes change frequently. Medical providers, especially in this era, are struggling to maintain well-being with the emotional and physical toll of caring for patients during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Desired outcomes:
  • Discuss evidence and consensus-based recommendations for patient care, practice improvement, and physician well-being.
  • Effectively translate the acquired strategies into improved diagnostics and communication with patients, and subsequently implement a better treatment plan when appropriate.

Accreditation :
Natividad Medical Center is accredited by the California Medical Association (CMA) to provide continuing medical education for physicians.
