Each year, we devote a portion of our budget to conduct CME research on learners, funding sources, and outcomes. From patient and funder surveys to physician feedback on CME value and utilization, we analyze the data and compile it into valuable reports that we share with our partners to help expand reach and impact.
Check out the research areas below to learn more about how our CME research offerings can help your organization grow.
For many years now, Global has surveyed physicians, nurses and other healthcare professionals in a variety of clinical practice areas to gain insight into their perceived value of CME, how often they incorporate information from CME into practice, preferences related to education, barriers to practice, and other critical data points that advance our educational and funding objectives.

In 2021, Global conducted a similar survey that included questions surrounding the COVID 19 pandemic to understand what type of CME has been favorable during the pandemic, how HCPs feel about attending live, in-person meetings, and the vaccine status of this learner population.

With a managed network of clinicians, scientists and specialists, Global collects advanced intelligence on CME funding sources and opportunities from both commercial and non-commercial sources.
The Grant Approval and Profitability Scale was developed as a resource for our education partners, as there continues to be a growing need for developing high-quality CME in the face of decreasing commercial supporter budgets. The first version of the scale, developed in 2014, identified 37 successfully funded live and enduring CME activities, and analyzed the top 10-12 budget line items for average costs.
After realizing the benefit the scale provided to us and our education partners, we decided to dig deeper and analyze a broader range of program format types and budget line items in the 2016 Grant Approval and Profitability Scale. We also calculated the total cost per learner at grant funded CME activities as well as the management fees as a percentage of the total program budget.
