Case Study: Springer Medizin simplifies CME for German physicians with Saba's centralized, scalable e‑learning platform

Springer Medizin taps Saba to create a centralized e-learning platform for physicians across Germany

Springer Medizin, Germany’s leading medical publisher that combines five specialist publishers and reaches nearly all physicians, faced the challenge of making mandatory continuing medical education (CME) easier and more convenient for busy doctors. With strict CME requirements (250 points over five years) and fragmented online offerings, the organization needed a centralized, user‑friendly platform to simplify credit earning, content management, and distribution.

Springer Medizin selected Saba, with Chemmedia’s KnowledgeWorker, to merge two legacy portals into a single, scalable e‑learning platform—consolidating nearly two million completed trainings and adding 700 new courses. The solution enabled fast, low‑effort course authoring from common file formats, 24x7 availability, and an intuitive interface, improving access to CME, expanding course offerings, and positioning the publisher for continued growth in physician engagement.
