Description
This 90-minute, in-person workshop is offered by the University of Wisconsin–Madison Interprofessional Continuing Education Partnership (UW–Madison ICEP). Participants will strengthen their continuing education planning skills by documenting practice gaps and learning needs, collaborating with subject matter experts, and formulating specific, measurable objectives. The workshop highlights practical strategies for using artificial intelligence (AI) tools responsibly while reinforcing the planner’s role in upholding the ACCME’s Standards for Integrity and Independence.
