How It All Began
I didn’t graduate high school on time because my grades were so poor. I have always struggled with traditional learning. I grew up thinking I was stupid. Deep down I felt stupid. I have a learning disability – dyslexia. My mind switches letters and numbers. There are a lot of insecurities when you feel you can’t effectively learn. But, I was determined, so I enlisted in the United States Marine Corps and learned to learn. I was deployed to Operation Desert Storm as a “Dragon Gunner” (shoulder fired anti-tank rocket,) where lives depended on my ability to learn, identify, and execute. I learned how to learn in the sands of Kuwait and Saudi Arabia. As I began a medical career as a emergency medicine physician assistant (PA,) also where lives depended on my ability to learn, understand and execute, I saw how traditional education shared knowledge and realized there had to be a more effective way. CME4LIFE offers learning that is “sticky,” meaning you learn deeply so you can apply clinically. I call it “active engagement learning.” Over the past two decades I have inspired countless clinicians to learn differently and increased their confidence and competence. It’s my passion and my calling. It’s why God put me on this planet.
CME4LIFE Is Different
We understand CME because we are led by a field hardened, experienced medical provider. John Bielinski, Jr. PA-C created CME4LIFE because he was frustrated by the CME options available. Adults don’t want to be talked to or read slides. Adult learners need to be challenged and engaged to retain information. Growing up a “difficult learner” made school difficult, but the military helped John understand how he could best learn and teach critical information. He applied these techniques when creating CME4LIFE.
