CME and Skin Care: How Can Continuing Medical Education Help Give Patients Better Skin?

As I have said in my previous blog post, we are now in the day and age where perfection means everything. When we were still in high school, we either strive to do well with our grades to go to the best colleges; or we go the other way and invest on our looks to kick-start a Hollywood or modelling career. Whichever path you choose to take, the key is perfection. As we grow older, being the best, being number one is still our priority – the best family life, the best career, and most importantly, aging gracefully. As dermatologists, it is one of our unofficial responsibilities to contribute to this world of perfection by giving our patients the best possible skin without resulting to cosmetic surgery.

You must be wondering how all these talk about becoming the best relate to CME. Dermatologists are some of the very few medical health professionals directly related to beauty. Since we cannot surgically increase someone’s IQ, we settle for the next best thing by maintaining flawless skin; a skin made for goddesses. Because all these and so much more are expected from dermatologists, they need to make sure that their knowledge and skills are at par with that of the best. Like I said – perfection is everything. CME is the best way for all members of the medical health team to get the latest updates, technologies, and new knowledge regarding your profession.

CME can come in many different forms – published journals, conventions, seminars, workshops, courses, and even audiobooks. Any one of these can definitely help you stay abreast with the most recent information on your field. Find excellent CME resources at practicalreviews.org or CMElist.com.
