Graduate Education Foundation -- the Largest Provider of High Quality Online Medical Education Announces Innovative Lecture Seri

First Ever Grand-Round Style Teaching Format Offers over 100 Accredited Online Lectures Covering Broad Range of Medical and Surgical Topics

Graduate Education Foundation, Inc. (GEF), a Cherry Hill-based non-profit foundation today announced an innovative new series of on-line continuing medical education lectures for doctors and other healthcare professionals. The content features lectures by the world's leading authorities, while remaining totally objective and free from commercial influences. All profits will be used to enhance bedside education at the medical school and post graduate residency level by awarding institutional Master Teacher Grants.

"Nothing this comprehensive has ever been available for healthcare professionals. The ability to have available at their fingertips a clinical information library and an online educational resource for day to day support is invaluable," said Michael S. Feldman, M.D., Founder and Chairman of GEF, and a practicing cardiologist and professor of medicine at Drexel University College of Medicine.

Developed by leading physician-educators, CMElectures.org consists of more than 100 fully accredited, multi-media presentations covering a broad spectrum of specialty care and medical and surgical related issues. Lecture series are offered in 18 areas of specialty including pain management, cardiology, rheumatology/arthritis, pediatrics and emergency medicine. Each lecture is original, evidence-based, and relevant to the practice of medicine in today's dynamic health care environment. Unlike traditional CME courses offered in hotels and conference centers, the GEF "classroom" can be accessed at any time, from anywhere that there is an Internet connection.

CMElectures.org have been integrated into educational programming by prestigious medical schools, teaching institutions and both state and national medical societies. All lectures are accredited through the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education and Drexel University College of Medicine and provide CME credit. David Nash, M.D., M.B.A., Founder and Chairman of the Department of Health Policy at Jefferson Medical College of Thomas Jefferson University in Philadelphia, is a member of the GEF faculty and its Medical Board of Advisors. "The successful blend of an extraordinarily knowledgeable faculty, and the ability to leverage leading-edge, digital production techniques with an Internet-based delivery system, has resulted in what is truly the next generation of continuing medical education," says Dr. Nash, an international expert on outcomes management, medical staff development, and quality-of-care improvement.
