Use case · CME and CPD providers
A CME and CPD platform for providers who build their own courses
The problem CME and CPD providers describe
Continuing education providers live between two pressures. Clinicians want short, relevant activities they can complete around patient care. Accrediting bodies expect documented needs, independent content, clear learning objectives, assessment and evaluation. Producing each activity takes planning, faculty authoring, peer review, assessment writing and production, and the cost of that work limits how many activities a provider can offer.
Many providers also run activities in more than one country or language, and keep content current as guidelines change. A webinar recording or slide deck is not yet a course, and turning it into one is where most of the time goes.
Content libraries do not solve this, because a provider's value is its own faculty and its own topics. General course builders help with layout, but not with mapping each statement to evidence or with recording who reviewed what.
How Perceptors works for a CME or CPD provider
- Plan the activity. The provider defines the audience, the practice gap, learning objectives and the credential it intends to award.
- Fix the sources. Faculty supply the evidence the activity may use: guidelines, papers, recorded talks and slides.
- Draft with agents. Specialist agents map claims to sources, draft modules and objectives, write assessment questions with answer rationales and prepare translations. A quality agent flags gaps and unsupported statements.
- Review and approve. Four approval gates hold the activity until a subject lead, programme editor, clinical reviewer and programme owner have each signed off. The platform records source versions, outputs, review decisions and releases.
- Deliver and support. Learners complete the activity under the provider's brand and can ask a guide that answers only from the approved sources.
- Report. Completion, assessment results and certificates are available for the provider's own accreditation reporting.
Who does what
The activity director or programme owner defines the practice gap, objectives and credential, and approves release. Faculty and peer reviewers check evidence, objectives, assessment items and changes before approval. Learners complete the activity and its assessment and receive a certificate. Administrators monitor cohorts, completion and records across activities, and export what the provider needs for its own reporting.
This keeps responsibilities where accrediting bodies expect them to sit: with the accredited provider and its planners and reviewers. The platform does the drafting and record-keeping; people make every content decision.
What a provider needs, and how Perceptors handles it
| Requirement | How Perceptors supports it | What stays with the provider |
|---|---|---|
| Evidence-based content | Claims mapped to approved sources; unsupported statements flagged | Choosing the evidence and resolving flags |
| Peer and faculty review | Human approval gate at each stage, with a recorded review path | Appointing reviewers and managing their disclosures |
| Learning objectives and assessment | Modules and outcomes drafted together; questions with answer rationales | Pass standards |
| Certificates and records | Certificates and learning-outcome reporting | Credit designation and submission to the accrediting body |
| Multiple languages and regions | Multilingual, branded delivery | Editorial review and local requirements |
| Keeping content current | Updates proposed and tracked; republication only after approval | Review cycle and expiry dates |

Credit, accreditation and what Perceptors does not claim
Perceptors does not award CME or CPD credit and is not itself an accredited provider. Credit is designated by the accredited provider that runs the activity, under its accrediting body's rules. Perceptors helps that provider build, review and deliver the activity and keep its records.
Where a course is prepared for GCLS review, eligibility and recognition depend on the programme and its intended credential. Perceptors makes no blanket compliance claim: security, privacy, hosting and retention requirements are agreed with each provider during discovery.

Frequently asked questions
Is Perceptors an accredited CME provider?
No. Perceptors is a learning platform. Credit is designated by the accredited provider that runs the activity.
Can we turn recorded webinars into CPD courses?
Yes. Recordings, slides and papers can form the source package. Agents draft a structured course and assessments from them, and your faculty approve the result.
How does Perceptors help with independent, evidence-based content?
Every claim is mapped to an approved source, unsupported statements are flagged, and clinical reviewers approve each quality pass before release. Disclosure and independence policies remain the provider's responsibility.
Can we deliver activities under our own brand?
Yes. Perceptors supports institutional delivery with your brand, learner experience and delivery structure.
How do we start?
Start with a briefing on one activity: audience, practice gap, objectives, sources and reviewers. A partner evaluation can then run it with real learners.
