The new paradigm for continuing medical education (CME) suggests some exciting
and innovative approaches to learning and change for physicians and other health
professionals. This report summarizes the efforts of a CME enterprise in south-central
Pennsylvania that implemented a new paradigm for CME involving an unusual partnership
with local business and industry. As a result of this partnership, a series of CME activities
were developed that had a positive impact on health care outcomes in the community.
