Abstract

Medical writers are instrumental in developing accredited continuing medical education (CME) for physicians and continuing education (CE) for nurses, pharmacists, and other health professionals. To ensure that CME/CE content meets the learning needs of health professionals, expands knowledge, and builds skills, medical writers should be knowledgeable about adult learning principles and emerging insights from the learning sciences. In this article, I review these principles and describe a suite of practical strategies that medical writers can use to write CME/CE materials that optimize learning.
