Global is thrilled and honored to announce that our organization has been recognized with the prestigious Best Practice in Collaboration Among CE/CPD Stakeholders award as well as the Brian P. Russell Exemplary CE/CPD Professional Award this year.
The Best Practice in Collaboration Among CE/CPD Stakeholders accolade celebrates our commitment to fostering meaningful partnerships and innovative approaches that drive continuous improvement in continuing education (CE) and continuing professional development (CPD). Collaboration is the cornerstone of advancing education in the medical field. This award specifically honors activities that highlight unique and effective ways to bring stakeholders together, whether through policies, procedures, or groundbreaking partnerships. At its core, this recognition signifies our dedication to working in harmony with diverse stakeholders to create impactful, learner-centered programs that enhance professional competence and ultimately improve patient outcomes.
We extend our heartfelt gratitude to our partners, stakeholders, and team members who made this achievement possible. Together, we’re shaping the future of medical education—one collaboration at a time.
We are also pleased to announce that our very own Andrea Funk has been named the recipient of the Brian P. Russell Exemplary CE/CPD Professional Award. This recognition is not only a professional milestone but a reflection of the incredible community of continuing education (CE) and continuing professional development (CPD) professionals who inspire, challenge, and support one another every day.
This award was first established in 2005 as the Exemplary CME Professional Award as part of the inaugural NAMEC Best Practice Awards. In 2010, it was renamed to honor the late Brian P. Russell, an esteemed leader in the field of CE/CPD and a passionate supporter of NAMEC (National Association of Medical Education Companies). Brian’s legacy continues to resonate through his dedication to advancing medical education and fostering collaboration among stakeholders.
Cheers to the future of CE/CPD and the continued impact we can make together!

CME Value: 2024 Updates
2024 CME Value
By Andrea Funk - December 10, 2024
In 2016, Global designed a survey for healthcare professionals to help us and other stakeholders understand the value of CME as perceived by the learners it is developed for. Since then, Global has continued to survey physicians, nurses, and other healthcare professionals across various clinical practice areas to gather insights on CME, including aspects such as the incorporation of CME information into practice, educational preferences, practice barriers, and other essential data points that are critical to advancing our educational and funding strategies.
In 2024, Global expanded its survey to address current healthcare trends, including perspectives on learning formats, the impact of new treatment guidelines on practice, and the amount of time healthcare professionals are able to dedicate to CME education. This comprehensive data collection continues to support Global's mission of aligning CME offerings with the evolving needs and preferences of healthcare professionals.

This year, our partnership with Burning Through Pages has allowed us to play a part in sustaining and expanding their peer-led book club for elementary students—a program that truly transforms lives.
Here’s what makes this initiative so special and why we’re proud to be a part of it:
- Investing in Future Leaders: Our support enables two high school students to work as peer mentors, earning sustainable wages while building critical leadership and mentorship skills. It’s inspiring to see these young leaders shaping the next generation of readers while growing themselves.
- Fostering a Love for Reading: Each elementary participant gets to keep every book they read during the club, creating a personal library that nurtures their love for literature.
- Celebrating Successes: Every book completed is celebrated with pizza parties and engaging activities that boost reading comprehension and make learning fun.
- Seeing Results: Participants leave the program not only with stronger reading skills—on average, improving more than 1 grade level—but also with a newfound sense of community and confidence.
