The BD Clinical Practice Training solution is a digital, on-demand learning program designed by AllenComm for BD, a leader in medical devices. It uses a web-based microlearning approach to provide flexible, effective clinical training for healthcare professionals, allowing them to learn at their own pace and prepare for face-to-face patient interactions.
BD wanted to address the challenges of traditional in-person training, which often pulls clinicians away from patient care, stretches resources, and reduces training completion rates. By partnering with AllenComm, BD aimed to create an effective, scalable, and accessible digital learning solution that fits into clinicians' busy schedules.
The solution was designed to support BD's workforce of 72,000 employees, ensuring scalable impact across the organization.
AllenComm provided a comprehensive suite of services, including medical industry expertise, upskilling/reskilling, content development, training strategy, translation and localization, performance consulting, needs analysis, instructional design, diagnostics, performance measurement, microlearning, responsive design, and motion graphics.
The solution has received multiple industry awards, including the Silver Brandon Hall Excellence in Learning Award (Learning Technology), Silver Telly Awards (Health and Wellness, Training categories), Gold Omni Award (Health and Fitness), and Bronze Horizon Interactive Award (Websites – Training/E-Learning).
The main goal was to revolutionize clinical training by making it more accessible, flexible, and effective for healthcare professionals, while minimizing disruption to patient care and improving training completion rates.
The training enables clinicians to comply with federal guidelines for delivering patient care by providing up-to-date, accessible, and standards-aligned learning content.
Kim Scoggins, Global Director of Clinical Education at BD, stated: "From the time we initially had our project design workshop through the finished product, AllenComm has been a trusted and valued partner for their ability to deliver quality offerings with graphics and detail that goes far beyond that of most vendors in this space. We are continuing to use them not only for their expertise, but for their commitment to exceeding customer expectations."
The solution employs a web-based microlearning approach, allowing clinicians to start and stop training as needed, fit learning into their schedules, and focus on specific skills or topics relevant to their roles.
Clinicians can access the training content and activities across wireless connections on mobile devices, ensuring learning is available anytime, anywhere.
The digital learning solution is designed to prepare clinicians for face-to-face interactions with patients by building confidence, skills, and familiarity with new medical devices and procedures before hands-on practice.
Learners can self-assess their skills and familiarity with products and procedures, enabling personalized learning and targeted skill development.
The training is designed to boost interest, motivation, and confidence by appealing to the values that drive healthcare professionals and illustrating best clinical practices.

It’s standard practice for healthcare professionals to work in a hands-on, face-to-face environment when meeting with patients, and for clinical training sessions. But in-person training pulls busy clinicians away from patients’ bedsides, stretches resources thin, and reduces training completion rates.
BD, an innovative industry and market leader in the development of high-quality medical devices and disposables, wanted to apply the same revolutionary approach it takes in medical device development to create a new, effective, digital, on-demand learning solution.
AllenComm applied a web-based microlearning approach—allowing start and stop features—that gave nurses the flexibility to fit the training into their very busy schedules. In addition, the training was designed to boost interest, motivation, and confidence by appealing to the values that drive healthcare professionals as well as illustrating best clinical practices.
The digital learning solution was developed to prepare clinicians for face-to-face interactions with patients. Once the training is completed, BD provides the conduit for facilitating those interactions.
