What is Reflective Learning with CMEfy?
CMEfy’s Reflective Learning is a 100% opt-in, learner-initiated experience where meaningful reflections result in continuing education credit and potential lifelong and career-enhancing change.
- Start with a learning experience or content that has a clinically-relevant concept/topic
- Open the CMEfy link & engage with the prompt
- Launch into an accredited library of reflective prompts
- Write a meaningful reflection note to earn CE credit
→ These reflective prompts help you think about a connection between the topic / concept that inspired your self-learning and your clinical and professional lives. Capturing a short meaningful text-based reflection earns you CE credit.
What is a reflection?
A reflection is a text-based note of how a topic or concept connects to your clinical practice & professional life. You may draw these connections based on a couple of different reflective perspectives - one that is introspective (critical thinking) and another that is forward-looking (applied thinking). Each reflection is captured in your personal CMEfy learner journal as well as evaluated with CMEfy’s technology to reward you CE credit.
Your reflection must be:
- Relevant and meaningful: be specific and relate the concept to your clinical practice, plan how this learning inspiration might change your approach or challenge the idea related to your practice
- Substantive: a few sentences that describe your learning and thought process
- Unique and authentic: write an original response related to the topic/concept
Does CMEfy guarantee CE credits?
No. CMEfy brings a variety of learner-centric value-added capabilities, such as point-of-inspirations that spark into research, university learning prompts, reflective cards and more. CMEfy integrates with non-accredited learning tools (such an AI evaluation engine as well as ReflectCE (an accredited activity portal) - and the appropriate services are presented based on the learner profile, the discovery pathway
Do I need to fill out a survey or take a test to earn credits?
No! This CE experience doesn't require you to fill out long questionnaires or a series of multiple choice questions. We've built a platform that lets you reflect on topics (we call them "nudges") relevant to the conversation / concept / topic that sparked learning for you.
