A CME consultant or CME expert helps medical professionals or companies delivering CME courses adhere to the regulated mandate in various medical fields, by 

• assigning credits authorized by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education. 
• producing and delivering high-level content that medical professionals can refer to upskill themselves, keeping them abreast of the latest knowledge and developments in their respective fields.
• working with highly qualified CME medical writers and scientific editors to ensure they deliver the best continuous medical education curriculum for their clients.

CME consultants and CME experts typically hold relevant accreditation, such as those authorized and issued by the ACCME. This helps them advise medical and healthcare organizations on contemporary regulations in CME medical training and CME services.

If they work with external CME writers, they make sure these writers possess relevant authority in niche domains, such as a PhD in neurology or medical research, for instance. 

Freelance CME consultants typically work with companies to deliver on-demand, high-quality continuous medical education services to their employees. They may also provide CME medical training to individual medical professionals. 

Consulting a CME expert on a freelance basis offers several benefits,

• Cost-effective access to courses and content that help professionals upskill efficiently

• Flexible upskilling at their own pace, with the CME expert available to be consulted as and when the demand arises

• Access to a wide range of CME experts and medical content writers, enabling medical and healthcare organizations to hire experts that best fit their needs and budget.

The cost of hiring a CME expert varies according to the unique needs of the project, and the qualifications of the CME consultant being hired. On Kolabtree, freelance experts offer continuous medical education services starting from $50/hour and going up to $150/hour.

In general, freelance experts are much more cost-effective than full-time hires, since companies can eliminate paperwork and onboarding costs, and consult a freelance CME expert as and when required.
