===== ''Unrest'' CME and Postcards to Doctors Initiative ===== In 2018, Jen Brea's documentary about ME from Shella Films, ''[[Unrest]]'', debuted. MEAction then worked with [[Lucinda Bateman|Dr. Lucinda Bateman]] and [[David Kaufman|Dr. David Kaufman]] to produce a short accompanying film about diagnosis and treatment for continuing education (CE, or CME) credits.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.unrest.film/cme|title=Watch Unrest and Receive Continuing Medical Education (CME / CE) Credit|date=April 22, 2024|website=Unrest Continuing Medical Education}}</ref> These are credits required for medical providers to maintain their licenses in the United States. Then, MEAction launched the ''Postcards to Doctors'' campaign, in which members of the community sent hand-written postcards urging clinicians to take the CME and share it with others. The initiative ran in 2019 and 2020 and, as a result, over 700 medical providers took the ''Unrest'' CME.<ref name=":3">{{Cite web|url=https://www.meaction.net/2020/01/28/postcards-returns-2/|title=Celebrating Postcards To Doctors: Final Report|last=Seltzer|first=Jaime|authorlink=Jaime Seltzer|date=January 28, 2020|website=MEAction.net}}</ref> The rate of uptake for the Postcards initiative alone rivaled that of in-person offerings at conferences on ME/CFS,<ref name=":3" /> and the total number of providers who took the ''Unrest'' CME over its two-year run is many times the uptake for the average CME.<ref>{{Cite web|url=n/a|title=Interview re: CME uptake|last=Shumaker|first=Theresa|last2=Interviewer: Seltzer|first2=Jaime|date=April 17, 2024|quote="The articles [in Mayo Clinic Proceedings] are available for 2 years. The number of learners is so varied- anywhere from 12-70 MDs per year, and also a varied number of other health professionals for each article ( Nurses, PA, others)."}}</ref>
