CENTERS OF EXCELLENCE TRAINING

Share and develop expertise across healthcare organizations with comprehensive learning programs that transform clinical practice.

ExtendMed's Health Expert Connect™ platform offers a sophisticated solution for establishing and operating Centers of Excellence training programs—connecting expert sites with learner sites through structured, interactive educational experiences designed to build true clinical expertise.

Need a platform designed specifically to spread expertise and best practices?

Healthcare companies often struggle with transferring deep expertise from established centers to new sites, ensuring consistent application of complex procedures and measuring the development of skills over time.

Without an effective approach to Centers of Excellence training, expertise remains concentrated in a few locations, limiting patient access to specialized care and slowing the adoption of innovative treatments.

Common Centers of Excellence training challenges:

  • Developing structured programs that go beyond one-time didactic sessions
  • Creating meaningful opportunities for practice and application of complex skills
  • Designing and managing a series of interventions that build expertise over time
  • Providing expert feedback on clinical technique and decision-making
  • Maintaining engagement through multi-stage learning processes
  • Supporting ongoing consultation between experts and learners
  • Measuring and documenting skill acquisition and competency

ExtendMed strengthens your Centers of Excellence training programs.

We collaborate with pharmaceutical, biotech, and healthcare organizations to design and execute comprehensive Centers of Excellence training programs. Our platform offers the tools you need to connect expert sites with learner sites through structured educational experiences that build real clinical expertise.

Our Centers of Excellence programs go beyond simple presentations to create structured learning experiences that develop true expertise through practice, feedback, and ongoing consultation. We focus on proven learning principles that emphasize two-way engagement, practical application and expert feedback—moving beyond simple didactic presentations to create true centers of excellence at each participating site.

With years of experience working with industry partners in healthcare, we provide recommendations to optimize your Centers of Excellence programs for maximum impact. Partner with us when you're ready to elevate your expertise-sharing initiatives.

Success story

Multi-product excellence programs

For a global pharmaceutical company focused on diabetes treatments, we developed Centers of Excellence programs that spanned multiple products and treatments simultaneously.

Rather than creating isolated programs for each treatment, our platform enabled the company to build expertise across their entire diabetes portfolio, allowing clinicians to develop comprehensive approaches to diabetes management.

These programs operated globally, connecting experts and learners across international boundaries to share best practices in diabetes care.

Let's work together to:

It's a fantastic platform to learn. The best part about participating, being an academic rheumatologist, I always want to hear what my colleagues in community practice are doing. What are their challenges, and how do they circumvent them? It has informed my daily practice."

I enjoy reading and giving comments to the bright contributions from my peers. I'm not sure that there's any forum worldwide with this many practitioners that have a vested interest in the disease state. Everything that is put out there is worth a lot."

Being part of this community was great for me. I work in a very small practice, so talking to other nurses in my same shoes and learning how they handle different situations was awesome. I picked up great ideas that make such a change in patients' lives."
