Continuing medical education (CME) is essential to ensure that clinical teams in Chile stay updated with the latest evidence and technologies. According to the Chilean Medical Association, over 60% of professionals report difficulties accessing up-to-date training opportunities.
Risks of not staying clinically updated:
• Use of outdated treatments.
• Lack of knowledge about newly approved technologies.
• Increased incidence of clinical errors.
• Reduced competitiveness of the medical center within the national healthcare ecosystem.
