Eugene Pozniak is Managing Director of Siyemi Learning, an independent CME provider based in Europe. He has worked in the medical sector for 20 years: following a degree in chemistry, he traced a path through pharmaceutical sales, advertising and medical communications. His introduction to CME came in 1996 when he organised a series of CME-accredited (PGEA) meetings on the newly emerging topic of evidence-based medicine (EBM), coinciding with the publication of David Sackett’s influential book on the topic. His fascination with CME and EBM continued until 8 years ago, when, with the growing possibilities in European CME, he finally made the change to working exclusively in CME.
As well as running CME-accredited meetings, Eugene developed the first pan- European CME accredited e-learning (launched in 2002), national CME-accredited portals and has been at the forefront of European journal CME. In addition, he has developed a number of ‘non-CME-non-promotional’ Independent Education projects. He has experience of CME across Europe, the USA, Asia Pacific and Latin America.
In 2006, Eugene founded Siyemi Learning, an independent provider of CME products and related services, assisting medical societies, the healthcare industry and their agencies with national and international CME and Independent Educational projects. Previously he was Director of Global CME (ex-US) at Wolters Kluwer Health.
