BMJ gives EU doctors free access to CME

Doctors across Europe now have free access to the British Medical Journal's library of Continuing Medical Education (CME) and Continuing Professional Development (CPD) content.

With ‘revalidation’ of medical training becoming a real threat in many EU countries, the availability of unbiased, peer reviewed, accredited CME will become increasingly important, explained Dr Michael Chamberlain, Chairman of the BMJ Group, adding: ‘Medical knowledge is changing at such a rapid rate, that a physician’s knowledge needs replacing every seven years.’
More than half a million physicians already use univadis, but only now have access to BMJ Learning. Under the new scheme, started in June, EU primary care and hospital physicians can access 350 interactive learning courses from BMJ learning at www.univadis.com (sponsored by Merck Sharp and Dohme). Until now, the most popular CME modules have been Childhood Fever, and Avian Flu.
Languages: The courses are being translated first into Spanish, German, French and Italian, to be followed by other EU languages.
