It is our pleasure to invite you to participate at ExL Pharma’s 5th Annual Conference on CME: Appling Innovative Approaches to Medical Education to Improve Physician Engagement and Demonstrate CME Value on September 29-30 in New Brunswick, New Jersey. We spent a good deal of time assessing the needs of the CME community and designed the meeting to fill gaps that have remained unmet and that have recently emerged. Prominent findings from this assessment highlight that the current environment necessitates several important findings:
* Demonstrating CME Value
* Engaging Physician Audiences
* Applying Process Improvement to CME
* Outcomes Measurement Strategies
We look forward to greeting you at the 5th Pharma Funded CME to address these topics and issues, and to provide an environment conducive to discussing the hot topics at hand.

Adult learning Principles: What Do People DO in the Sessions you Fund, What Does it Mean “To Teach” and “To learn”
This workshop takes attendees through real-world applications of the two definitions of learning and teaching, to (1) help physicians and others recognize learning
needs they have, (2) gain the skills, knowledge, and experience they need to resolve the problems they face and (3) incorporate newly learned skills, knowledge, and
experience into their practice repertoires. The nature of the concepts and principless presented and the experiences attendees will have as they work with them will
allow participants to know what THEIR learners will think and feel as they (the participants) use the concepts and principles in working with others.
This workshop provides the tools for attendees to know what their learners are experiencing and thinking and thoroughly examines:
• Deconstructing definitions of learning and teaching grounded in educational theory and applying theory to planning, implementing and evaluating instructional
activities for healthcare providers
• Applying definitions in approaching and resolving problems that arise from an examination of their self-reported needs
