Technology-Enhanced CPD Committee

Mission

SACME's Committee on Technology-Enhanced CPD is to support and guide SACME members in enhancing the entire spectrum of CPD activities through the innovative use and study of technology to enhance the impact of CPD, emphasizing learning theories, pedagogies, and evidence.

Structure

The TECPD Committee operates through a structure that ensures broad oversight and focused attention on specific areas of interest. This structure is divided into three distinct levels: the main committee, one subcommittee, and multiple ad hoc workgroups. Each level has a unique role and set of responsibilities that contribute to the committee’s overall mission.
