An increasing fraction of healthcare research dollars is going to research on CME: how to more effectively disseminate new knowledge and skills throughout the medical community. In this white paper we explore four new directions in CME research that have taken shape over the past few years: point-of-care CME, social media, simulation, and spaced learning. We summarize key findings in each area and analyze their potential impacts on the CME landscape. The paper also includes resources for further reading on these topics.
