Learning in/from Libraries: The Power of Experience in CME/CE

Welcome back to the Write Medicine podcast! Before we get into today’s topic on the power of experience in learning, I wanted to share with you a message from Mallory Kane. Mallory is a fourth-year medical student at the University of Connecticut who is creating an anthology of essays based on testimonies from people whose lives have been impacted by cancer. Whether you are a patient or survivor, a family member or caretaker, she wants to hear from you. She is using this anthology to highlight the experience of living with this disease.Mallory’s looking for 1–3-page essays (max 1500 words) answering the following prompt:What lesson have you learned from your experience with cancer that you want others to know?You can send your submissions to Mallory via email to [email protected] or via this form.Adult learning is a complex process and we all want to think our CME/CE content measures up to the challenge.
