Iowa City, IOWA, June 24, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The Developing Doctor has unveiled its latest self-paced course, “Mastery & Wellness: How to Thrive as a Physician,” now approved for 12 physician CME credits. This course is jointly provided with the Postgraduate Institute for Medicine (PIM), making it eligible for reimbursement through most institutional CME budgets.
Designed for physicians of all stages, from residents struggling with new responsibilities to new attendings, mid-career physicians wondering what is next, and physician leaders wanting to better support their teams, the course offers significant value by combining essential content with CME credit. Physicians can apply this course toward licensure and board requirements, while organizations can support it through existing continuing-education allowances.
“Most institutions already spend on CME, and most say they care about physician wellbeing. Those two things rarely sit in the same place,” said Dr. Ben Reinking, founder of The Developing Doctor. “This course puts them together. A physician earns real credit while doing the work that helps them stay in medicine for the next twenty years.”
The course is structured around a four-phase career-architecture method: Identify, Align, Develop, Sustain. It includes 36 video lessons, each under ten minutes, accompanied by worksheets, three validated assessments, and approximately twelve hours of structured content. Physicians can complete the course privately and at their own pace, claiming their credit and certificate through PIM’s portal upon completion.
With no cohort dates, enrollment windows, or group sessions to coordinate, physicians can start the course as soon as access is granted and revisit the material quarterly, with lifetime access included.
Physician turnover is a costly issue for healthcare organizations, and many wellness offerings stop at awareness. “Mastery & Wellness” provides physicians with a written blueprint for a sustainable career, moving beyond traditional resilience seminars.
“Supporting your clinicians shouldn’t require a new budget category or a six-month rollout,” Reinking emphasized. “It should be something a physician can start this week, that counts toward their CME, and that they keep coming back to.”
“Mastery & Wellness: How to Thrive as a Physician” is currently available at https://courses.thedevelopingdoctor.com.
