National Jewish Medical and Research Center Launches Online Learning Portal CMELogix.org
August 6, 2007, Denver, Colorado - The Office of Professional Education at National Jewish Medical and Research Center is pleased to announce the launch of www.CMELogix.org, a portal for continuing medical education.
Last year over 8,350 health care professionals from around the world came to National Jewish for training and education by the institution’s prestigious faculty. Now their expertise and research will be more accessible via the Internet.
“We will continue to produce our high-caliber conferences and seminars, but having a web-based learning management system allows us to share our knowledge with a wider audience,” said Sheila S. Jordan, Director of Professional Education.
Online activities will be available for physicians, nurses, physicians’ assistants, respiratory therapists, pharmacists and allied health professionals. The core group of offerings will be focused on the respiratory and autoimmune diseases in which National Jewish specializes: asthma, allergy, chronic obstructive pulimory disease (COPD) and tuberculosis. The course offerings will also reflect the institution’s focus on personalized medicine. The CME programs will be accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME®). Certain programs will also be accredited by the California Nursing Board and other professional associations.
CMELogix.org is built on the RxSchool® (www.rxschool.com) plateform, an online learning management system developed by Pharmacy Choice® “We’re pleased that National Jewish selected our software on which to run their learning portal,” said Rich Barnhart, Co-Founder and CTO of Pharmacy Choice. . “As the number 1 respiratory hospital in the United States, National Jewish produces high-quality CME programs, and we are proud to be part of that long-standing tradition.”
The mission of National Jewish Medical and Research Center since 1899 is to heal, to discover and to educate as a preeminent healthcare institution. We serve by providing the best integrated and innovative care for patients and their families; by understanding and finding cures for the diseases we research; and by educating and training the next generation of healthcare professionals to be leaders in medicine and science. National Jewish has been ranked the country’s number one respiratory hospital for the past ten years in a row by U.S. News & World Report.
