CME shouldn’t feel like doing your taxes.
Docs told me tracking credits, not finding them, is the real pain.
So I’m building NavCME: a mobile CME wallet to snap, store & export your credits.

Last week I went to a great CME event. Amazing education. Even better reconnecting with friends.
And it hit me:
Why don’t I do this more often?
👇
Think “Google or Claude for CME”—but better.
Search by specialty, location, date
See who else is going
Sync to your calendar
Track your CME credits
I’m collecting feedback from physicians to shape the platform.
Take 2 mins to tell me what you'd want:

You’ll get early beta access.
Let’s solve this together. 🩺

Excited to announce the first Venacore case in Canada at @UnityHealthTO 🎉
Post-thrombotic syndrome can cause leg pain, swelling, and heaviness after a blood clot. But with new devices like this, we’re offering minimally invasive treatments to improve patients' quality of life.
The Interventional Radiology team at St. Michael's Hospital completed a first-in-Canada treatment for challenging vein blockages. The treatment was spearheaded by Dr. Andrew Brown, who sought special access from @GovCanHealth to use a new device to help w/ these difficult cases.

Get an up-close look at a St. Michael’s first. Radioembolization is a targeted cancer treatment that can cure certain liver cancers in 1 or 4 visits. St. Michael’s did its first radioembolization procedure this fall & we’re giving you a front row seat. bit.ly/3uv2AG8

i am beyond angry/upset. systemic discrimination happens when policymakers are inoculated from the realities in black/brown communities — and when Amazon can send a package anywhere but won’t vaccinate its workers with ~1,000 cases in 1 factory alone.
Mayor John Tory and the @cityoftoronto have declared January 25 to 31, 2021 as Emergency Shelter and Homelessness Service Worker Appreciation week. Big thanks to all the staff at @evasinitiatives who have worked tirelessly during #COVID19

What happens when you screen all your healthcare workers for #COVID19?
A UK hospital screened 1032 asymptomatic staff.
3% tested positive. On closer evaluation of those 3%, 17/30 (57%) were truly asymptomatic or had very mild symptoms.

A window into the #COVID19 medical nightmare in Italy, with limited testing, lack of PPE, but no shortage of ethical dilemmas for whom to provide life support nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NE… by @LisaRosenbaum17 @NEJM
"[High risk individuals] and their loved ones should be ‘socially distanced’...but not the rest of us." Sports med MD tells patients in mass email. This is contrary to the best available evidence. No wonder the public is so confused about #COVID19 We need to #FlattenTheCurve
