Session Overview
Join us for this series sessions as we continue to remember seminal publications in continuing medical education (CME) and continuing professional development (CPD) over the past 50 years. We will have a rare opportunity to revisit important literature and hold conversations with scholars who have made major contributions to our field.
As always, we welcome your thoughts and perspectives and hope to see you engaged in our VJC.

Moore’s Framework for Evaluation of CME/CPD Outcomes and it’s Evolution
November 17, 2025
12:00 PM - 1:00 PM ET
The Outcomes Framework developed by Moore, Green, and Gallis 20091, often presented as a hierarchy or pyramid, provides a systematic way to plan CME/CPD activities and assess the impact of those CME/CPD activities on clinician knowledge, skills, and attitudes; clinician performance; patient health status; and/or population health. The 2009 paper expands on the framework described in Moore 20032 and adds elements of instructional design described in Moore 2008.3
The central message of the framework is that CME/CPD planners should use a "backward planning" approach to instructional design that starts with identifying a desired change in patient outcomes or physician performance and continuing to work backward to design an educational intervention more likely to achieve those outcomes. Interventions that are more likely to produce desired outcomes include opportunities for learners to (1) deliberately practice the capabilities they will need to achieve the desired outcomes and (2) receive expert feedback to monitor the development of those capabilities.
In this session, using a Q&A format, Don will share his story of how the “Moore’s Outcomes Framework” came to be and how his thinking evolved. You will have the opportunity to ask the questions you may have always wanted to ask him.
This event is eligible for SACME’s Certificate of Recognition Program in CPD/CE Scholarship.

Faculty Development Webinar
The Great Debate on the Intersection of CPD and Faculty Development: Exploring Opportunities for Collaboration
December 5, 2025
11:30 AM - 12:30 PM Eastern Time
Free registration for SACME Members / $30 for Non-Members
Event Overview
CPD and Faculty Development (FD) are both integral to sustaining excellence in healthcare. CPD ensures that health professionals remain clinically competent, while FD ensures that those involved in education are well-equipped to teach, lead and conduct education scholarship. Although CPD and FD serve different purposes, they often intersect—particularly for healthcare professionals who assume dual roles as clinicians and educators. Professional development topics like professionalism, leadership, inter-professionalism and coaching may be provided by both programs but rarely in collaboration. In many medical schools, CPD and FD are housed in separate offices.
Join us for the “The Great Debate” on the merits of the separation or integration of Faculty Development and Continuing Professional Development and for discussion of the opportunities for collaboration. This session will be of special interest to Office Directors for FD and CPD and to Medical Directors/Assistant/Associate Deans of these programs.

Virtual Research Roundtable
Where Do I Start? Meaningful Inclusion of People with Lived Experience in CPD Research
Wednesday, December 10, 2025
12:00 PM - 1:00 PM Eastern Time
The Virtual Research Roundtable (VRR) is a unique opportunity for individuals to deepen their research knowledge and connect with peers. This casual 1-hour webinar will feature a presentation by some of our esteemed colleagues on a specific research method or topic.
Following the short presentation, engage in a dynamic conversation with the presenter and other colleagues. You'll have the chance to ask questions, explore how the presented concepts can enhance your own research, and discuss potential collaborative opportunities.
Join us for this engaging event designed to grow our research capacity, exchange ideas, and foster collaborative work. We look forward to your participation and the vibrant discussion that will follow.
Edeline Mitton
SUNY Downstate Medical Center
A 20-year veteran of the State University of New York (SUNY) system, Edeline Mitton, MEd, is the director of the Office of Continuing Medical Education at Downstate Medical Center. She received a Bachelor of Arts in psychology with a minor in marketing from the City University of New York College of Staten Island, a master’s in education with a concentration in instructional design from the University of Phoenix, and a Medical Informatics Certification at SUNY Downstate. In addition, she is involved in the cultivation of mindfulness meditation and yoga therapy and research. Mitton has been involved with PCORI since 2014, serving as a merit reviewer and an Ambassador. She believes in the PCORI mission of putting patients at the center of research. As an educator for physicians, she believes that the patient should be front and center when looking at practice gaps. What is it that this physician is lacking and needs to improve upon to impact that patient’s health? How do we not involve the patient in their care? They know their bodies, the spaces in between, and what feels right. Mitton is also a caretaker and advocate for Alzheimer’s patients.
