Design notes

The badge distills a forest plot, the figure of a meta-analysis, onto an upright navy plate with a fine blue keyline. A large serif CME sits over the word CREDITS and a short rule. Below them, two squares on their whiskers stand beside the line of no effect, and a burnt-sienna diamond, the pooled result, is the one warm mark. Its fixed words are few, so it stays clear as a small thumbnail. It suits grand rounds series, journal clubs and online CME libraries that want a scholarly mark for their learners.

About

CME Credits Badge Template, Forest Plot

Physicians, nurse practitioners and pharmacists keep their licences and board certifications current by earning continuing medical education credits in each renewal cycle. A CME credits badge lets a clinician show that learning online: hospitals, medical schools, specialty societies and education companies issue it when a learner finishes an activity and claims its credits, and holders add it to a professional profile or an email signature.

Post for the recipient to share

I completed a continuing medical education activity this week and claimed my credits for the current cycle. Keeping up with new guidelines and diagnostic advances is part of caring for patients well, and the sessions gave me ideas I am already using in clinic. Thanks to the faculty for a well-run program. #CME #MedicalEducation
