Report on Proceedings of the Thirteenth Annual European CME Forum, Held Virtually, November, 2020

In common with many scheduled meetings in 2020, the Thirteenth Annual European CME Forum (#13ECF) was conducted between 4 and 6 November 2020 in a virtual format. Faculty and attendees from around the world interacted via plenary sessions, breakout workshops, panel discussions, question and answer sessions, and oral presentations from selected poster authors. The plenaries dealt with topical themes such as outcomes, collaboration, changes in educational activities due to digitisation, accreditation standards, and essential competencies for continuing professional development (CPD) providers. Breakout workshop themes included online and informal learning, a global approach to outcomes, interprofessional collaboration, the role of industry, patients as teachers, simulation, pathways to accreditation and adaptation to the virtual landscape. The Forum provided a comprehensive model of educational practice in the rapidly changing environment brought on by a pandemic.
