The Pink Pill: Sex, Drugs & Who Has Control
Directed by Aisling Chin-Yee | Produced by Catalyst & Everywoman Studios
Winner – Audience Award, DOC NYC 2025. Critical acclaim by The New York Times, People, ELLE, and Fast Company.
The Pink Pill: Sex, Drugs & Who Has Control is the award-winning Paramount+ documentary on systemic bias in women's sexual health, now an accredited reflective learning activity through Learn at Pinnacle, offering 2 credits across nine healthcare professions.
At its heart is entrepreneur Cindy Eckert, founder of Sprout Pharmaceuticals, whose decade-long campaign to secure FDA approval for Addyi (flibanserin) – the first treatment for hypoactive sexual desire disorder (HSDD) in premenopausal women – became a flashpoint in the broader fight for equity in women's sexual health. Originally rejected by the FDA in 2010, the drug was eventually approved in 2015 after a hard-fought public, scientific, and regulatory battle, with its indication expanded to postmenopausal women under 65 in late 2025.
Witty, urgent, and rigorously researched, The Pink Pill offers HCPs a powerful lens on how bias shapes clinical priorities, drug approval pathways, and the lived experience of patients seeking care for sexual health concerns.
Please note: Pinnacle Conference, LLC accredits the learner's reflection, not the underlying content that was reflected on. Each reflective activity is self-chosen by the learner, clinically relevant, and credits are only awarded if the learner reports that their reflective process was free from commercial bias. The credit awarded reflects the learner's own engagement, learning, and effort involved in completing the reflection.
1001 Cuts
Directed by Sarah Temkin, MD | Produced by Richard Chisolm, Ryan Mayers & Sarah Temkin
Winner – Best Documentary Short at Beaufort International, DC Independent, and Women's Voices Now Film Festivals
1001 Cuts is a multi-award-winning short documentary on the gender bias and systemic barriers faced by women surgeons, and one of the first CME-accredited documentaries, now available as a reflective learning activity through Learn at Pinnacle.
At its heart is gynecologic oncologist turned first-time filmmaker Dr. Sarah Temkin, whose own experience leaving clinical practice in 2020 inspired the film. The title is drawn from the daily accumulation of small insults and indignities that women surgeons encounter throughout their careers, with a nod to Scheherazade of One Thousand and One Nights, the woman who saved her own life through storytelling. Told through candid interviews with dozens of women surgeons across specialties, the film weaves together personal narratives of overt harassment, microaggressions, instruments not designed for their hands, and leadership cultures that remain disproportionately male — despite women making up nearly half of surgical trainees today.
Intimate, rigorous, and quietly urgent, 1001 Cuts offers Healthcare Professionals a powerful lens on how bias shapes surgical culture, team dynamics, and ultimately patient care, while its contributors model concrete pathways toward a more equitable operating room.
We were proud to accredit 1001 Cuts as a reflective CE/CME activity, so that the surgeons, trainees, and clinicians living this story every day can earn credit for engaging with it meaningfully.
BrachyStories Documentary Film
By Mission-Driven Tech™
Debuted at the 2024 World Congress of Brachytherapy.
BrachyStories is a short documentary film on the lived reality of cervical cancer brachytherapy, and one of the few CME-accredited documentaries, now available as an enduring activity.
Created by Eve McDavid and produced by Mission Driven Tech, the film grew out of the BrachyStories research project, which gathered in-depth interviews with cervical cancer survivors around the world. It debuted at the 2024 World Congress of Brachytherapy. The title says it plainly: these are the stories patients rarely get to tell, in their own words. Through candid survivor testimony, the film surfaces recurring themes of inadequate preparation for treatment, inconsistent pain management, gaps in informed consent, and too little support for long-term physical and emotional recovery.
Intimate and clinically grounded, BrachyStories offers healthcare professionals a powerful lens on the patient experience behind a technically effective treatment, and points toward concrete ways to strengthen communication, trauma-informed care, and survivorship support.
We were proud to accredit BrachyStories, so that the radiation oncologists, physicists, nurses, and clinical teams living this work every day can earn credit for engaging with it meaningfully.
