New Partnership to Offer Continuing Medical Education Courseware
Ithaca, NY. Data Description, Inc. and the International Center for Postgraduate Medical Education, LLC (ICPME), both based in Ithaca, New York, have launched MediaCME, a joint venture to provide multimedia courses for continuing medical education. The new enterprise combines state-of-the-art multimedia educational tools and skills with comprehensive medical training knowledge to produce accredited, computer-based courses for physicians, nurses and other healthcare professionals.
Data Description has developed award-winning educational software for college- and postgraduate-level study of statistics, epidemiology, medicine and computer programming. For the past decade, ICPME has been providing high quality accredited continuing medical education programming that delivers authoritative information from top medical specialists. "Doctors and nurses are finding that they don't need to take big chunks out of their schedules to stay current in their fields," said Lisa Schleelein, Director of Medical Education and President of ICPME. "We will continue to offer top-notch courses, but our audience can stay home."
John Sammis, President of Data Description, noted the unique position of MediaCME in the CME field, "Pairing our skills with ICPME's medical training experience results in courseware that is very attractive to professionals. They will enjoy using these courses, they will learn, and the courseware remains a lasting reference for them. This is what CME grantors and learners alike are looking for."
