DKBmed

Dean Beals has been working in CME/CPD for over 25 years. Dean founded DKBmed in 2002, a CME/CPD company which specializes in bringing new adult learning methodologies to the healthcare landscape. Dean was an early adopter of incorporating the patient voice into medical education, developing Quality Improvement programs, podcasts, e-mail, curriculum-based activities and tablet/smartphone applications for clinicians and patients. These forward-thinking approaches enable clinicians to learn using the latest state-of-the-art techniques and to access educational programs that make a difference in practice and their patients' lives. Under Dean’s leadership, DKBmed has created multiple Quality Improvement programs in chronic pain, diabetic eye disease, depression, influenza, and HIV, working with health systems around the United States. Dean also created the Get SMART (Safe Means of Administering the Right Therapy) series of educational programs supported by multiple grants from the FDA and REMS Program Committee to combat the growing epidemic of opioid addiction; he has testified twice before of the FDA to address the need for continued provider education in this area. DKBmed is also developing education in China and other Asian countries on HIV and HBV.
