Physician Engagement

Houston Methodist Physicians' Alliance for Quality (HMPAQ) offers quarterly Continuing Medical Education (CME) events, educational webinars and timely electronic communications for HMPAQ members and their staff. 

CME consists of educational activities which serve to maintain, develop and increase the knowledge, skills and professional performance and relationships that a physician applies to provide services for patients, the public and the profession. The content of CME is the body of knowledge and skills generally recognized and accepted by the profession as within the basic medical sciences, the discipline of clinical medicine and the provision of health care to the public.

Our HMPAQ CME topics have ranged from the management of diabetes to advance care directives applied to clinical practice and Value Based Care Programs. These events are currently in a virtual format and offer opportunity to network with fellow HMPAQ members as well as Houston Methodist Primary Care Group (HMPCG) physicians.
