Continuing Education Workshops
Learn with your colleagues—in focused, facilitated sessions—how to apply transformative concepts to your work. Penn MEHP Online continuing education workshops are interactive sessions sparked by engaging brief video segments from faculty experts and facilitated by innovation practitioners. Sessions are scheduled around your availability, with about 4 hours of learning across 4 weeks.
Behavioral Economics Workshop: Innovative Interventions for Workplace Challenges (5.25 hours)
Learn techniques for addressing workplace challenges. Through facilitated discussion with colleagues, you will draft an intervention where better choice architecture, framing, nudges, or defaults could improve processes and outcomes. Requires a minimum of 4 hours—set around your schedule!—over 4 weeks.
Ideal for learning in a group of 4 to 6 people, especially across professions. Also open to individuals.
Registration fee: $125 per learner. See Course page for continuing education credit details.
The next Behavioral Economics Workshop runs October 6–31, 2025.

The Behavioral Economics Workshop runs online twice a year. Content is hosted by Penn Medicine’s Office of Continuing Medical and Interprofessional Education, using Cloud CME, and facilitated discussions use a video conference platform.
Week 1: Independent learning
Learn independently by watching brief video lectures from Penn faculty, reviewing definitions, reading an article, and taking a brief quiz with work-relevant scenarios.
Weeks 2 and 3: Group discussion
Apply the concepts from week 1 through group discussion with a facilitator (often a graduate of Penn’s Master of Health Care Innovation program), review new tools, and together draft an intervention for your workplace. Sessions are held online and scheduled to fit learners’ calendars.
Week 4: Report out
Meet online with all workshop groups to present your intervention plan and receive feedback.
Learners receive a certificate of completion and, if eligible, continuing education credits.
Complete a brief application. You may include the names of 3 to 5 colleagues to participate with you; a final list of participants is due 2 weeks before the workshop starts. You do not need to indicate a specific challenge in advance.
