ABOUT THIS PODCAST 🔗
Write Medicine is the go-to library for crafting high-quality continuing medical education (CME).
If TED Talks and a mastermind group had a podcast baby for CME professionals, it would be Write Medicine. Think of it as the NPR of continuing medical education: smart, engaging, and packed with insights you can use right away.
Here's the thing about writing CME/CE content — most people learn it the hard way. There's no clear playbook, the standards keep shifting, and the difference between education that checks a box and education that actually changes clinical practice comes down to craft nobody teaches you directly.
That's what this library is for. Across 150+ conversations, host Alexandra Howson, PhD, cracks open the secrets of powerful CME content — decoding adult learning, designing outcomes that matter, working with faculty and SMEs, sharpening your writing craft, and navigating the fast-changing world of medical education. Some episodes are focused solo deep-dives; others bring in industry pros to share what's working now.
Listen, learn, and level up your CME game.

Have you ever hesitated to push back on a client’s “non-negotiable” contract — even when something didn’t feel right?
