<p><strong>Abstract</strong></p> <p>Continuing Medical Education (CME) papers is a method for healthcare professionals to gain new knowledge, learn new technologies and procedures and keep up with advances in their respective fields. Healthcare professionals have a lifelong responsibility to learn throughout their professional career.<br />CME papers generally outline a specific case, topic, or challenge in the medical field. They often conclude with an individual assessment, such as a 10-question multiple-choice exam, to test the learners understanding of the material.<br />Unfortunately, radiographers, nurses and other medical healthcare professionals working in the Nordic countries do not have abundant access to Continuing Professional Development (CPD) programs, which are designed to help professionals to engage and enhance skills, knowledge and abilities. Even without formal CPD programs, radiographers must stay updated to maintain high professional standards. Nordic healthcare professionals can still benefit from reading and writing CME papers and participate in CME assessments.<br />CPD are widely used in many other European countries such as UK and Ireland. Therefore, CME papers can be a way to facilitate new qualifications or knowledge.</p>
