What is a Learning Path?

A learning path or journey is a structured program designed to guide learners through a specific topic or skill set over a set period. Content is released incrementally, allowing participants to focus on one section at a time, with new material added weekly. Each chapter concludes with quizzes to reinforce understanding and track progress.

For participants who choose a CME (Continuing Medical Education) subscription, CME credits will be awarded upon completion of the entire learning journey.
