New York, NY (PRWEB) January 23, 2006

TalkPoint, a leading provider of Web-based audio and video solutions today announced that they will be participating in the Alliance for Continuing Medical Education Conference in San Francisco January 26th to the 28th. TalkPoint will use the opportunity to demo their innovative webcasting and online learning solutions to the eCME marketplace.

Internet based CME programs are naturally only as effective as the technology that distributes them. Participant satisfaction depends greatly on the ease of use, interactivity and clarity of the message. Effective eCME programs benefit everyone involved in the process and help make the medical, pharmaceutical and healthcare industries more productive and keep them better informed.

TalkPoint, a leader in online communications services and technology is on the forefront of the eCME marketplace. Providing web based eCME classes for over 5 years TalkPoint has seen the evolution of the technology and the user community. eCME has gone from being a novel idea, to becoming a standard practice and the most efficient way to communicate your message.

According to a study conducted by Dr. Vernon Curran, Assistant Professor (Medical Education), Centre for Collaborative Health Professional Education, Faculty of Medicine, Memorial University of Newfoundland. Responses to the questionnaires suggest great satisfaction. Almost all respondents (97%) indicated they would participate in another on-line CME course, and 89% considered the instruction appealing, interesting, and motivating. Almost all respondents (97%) reported they were able to learn at their own pace, and 92% felt they were better able to juggle learning time with work and home responsibilities.

“With broadband connections to the internet becoming more pervasive, the decrease in bandwidth costs and the ease of use of some of the newer desktop technologies eCME is the easiest and most cost effective way to educate. It’s easy to present, easy to view, and the economics speak for themselves. We are exited about the growth in the market segment” said Nick Balletta, CEO of TalkPoint. He continued, “In person training will never go away, however all evidence both empirical and anecdotal point in the direction of strong growth for eCME. TalkPoint with its leadership position in providing technology and service for online Continuing Medical Education is gearing up for what may be the largest growth opportunity in online communications.”
