About

Continuing Medical Education (CME)

Mission Statement

The CME program at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital shares the institutional mission, which is to advance cures, and means of prevention, for pediatric catastrophic diseases through research and treatment. St. Jude CME supports this mission by providing education that enables St. Jude faculty and staff to translate new research and developments into clinical practice as well as improve their professional practice. 

We expect that our learners will report increased confidence and competence in their approach to translating state-of-the-art research into clinical care and be able to apply newly acquired clinical and professional strategies to their practice of medicine at St. Jude or their home institution. 

Target Audience and Scope

Our CME activities are geared toward our physicians and other healthcare professionals who provide medical care for children with catastrophic diseases. To that end, we provide education in clinical science, practice management, medical/legal topics, ethics, quality improvement, and physician professional development.  

The St. Jude CME program is administered by our Clinical Education and Training Office.
