"I couldn't be more thrilled to have Leah at our table.  While our end mission is the same, we come at it in very different ways. Her perspective will help us continually innovate the ways in which we serve physicians' lifelong learning needs. Together we strive for the day when every patient across the globe is served with the absolute best medical care."

"A critical part of improving overall healthcare is ensuring the quality of care delivered by treating physicians," said Ms. Binder.

About Continuing Medical Education
The $2.65 billion dollar continuing medical education (CME) industry traditionally consisted of educational activities that disseminate didactic lectures and digitized didactic lectures. Traditional activities include destination conferences, publications, and audio and video recordings of conferences. But studies demonstrate these methods are ineffective, and physicians are challenged to actively transfer such knowledge to practice. Knowledge to Practice is proficient at understanding the needs of practicing physicians, distilling the literature and emerging medicine into very practical, digestible sequences of learning that fit the lifestyle of the time starved physician.

Knowledge to Practice's approach addresses both knowledge and performance. Transforming the way academicians teach and elevating the lifelong learning experiences of physicians; Knowledge to Practice tailors personally relevant learner-centric learning. Knowledge to Practice's proprietary online system was designed to fit into physicians' demanding schedules, and to match each physician's unique practice needs. Using a self-assessment module, physicians can identify knowledge and practice gaps, stay current, and develop/maintain mastery across their core competencies.
