Clinician uptake of obesity-related drug information: A qualitative assessment using continuing medical education activities
Conclusions: Clinicians' knowledge of medication-related weight gain may lead them to overestimate the benefits of a drug in relation to its metabolic risks. The knowledge base of pediatricians appears comparable to their counterparts in adult medicine, even though metabolic drug effects in children have only become prevalent recently.

A geographical cluster randomised stepped wedge study of continuing medical education and cancer diagnosis in general practice
DiscussionTo our knowledge, this will be the first study to measure the effect of a theory-based CME in early cancer diagnosis at three levels: GP knowledge and attitude, GP activity and patient outcomes. The achieved knowledge will contribute to the understanding of whether and how general practice?s ability to perform cancer diagnosis may be improved.Trial registrationRegistered as NCT02069470 on ClinicalTrials.gov.

Melanoma in situ
The incidence of melanoma has steadily increased over the past 3 decades, with melanoma in situ comprising a disproportionately high percentage of the rising incidence. Our understanding of melanoma in situ has been shaped by epidemiologic and clinical studies. Central to a review of melanoma in situ is a focus on its epidemiology, pathology, biologic behavior, treatment, and clinical outcome, which may differ significantly from that of malignant melanoma. Part I of this continuing medical education article reviews the epidemiology, risk factors, and clinical features of melanoma in situ; part II covers the histopathology,...

Changing Continuing Medical Education
To the Editor In his Viewpoint on reforming the continuing medical education (CME) system, Dr Nissen suggested that the scientific foundation for declaring CME as being effective is anything but solid. He stated that “Some scientific research has focused on determining whether CME is effective at improving physician performance, but these studies have not been particularly rigorous.”

Continuing medical education speakers with high evaluation scores use more image-based slides. Ferguson, Ian; Phillips, Andrew W; Lin, Michelle
Introduction: Although continuing medical education (CME) presentations are common across health professions, it is unknown whether audience evaluations of the speaker is independently associated with slide design. Based on the conceptual framework of Mayer ’s theory of multimedia learning, this study aimed to determine whether image use and text density in presentation slides are associated with overall speaker evaluations. Methods: This retrospective analysis of six sequential CME conferences (two annual emergency medicine conferen ces over a three-year period) used a mixed linear regression model to assess whet...

InsuOnline, an Electronic Game for Medical Education on Insulin Therapy: A Randomized Controlled Trial With Primary Care Physicians
Conclusions: The game InsuOnline was applicable, very well accepted, and highly effective for medical education on insulin therapy. In view of its flexibility and easy dissemination, it is a valid option for large-scale CME, potentially helping to reduce clinical inertia and to improve quality of care for DM patients.

Quality Improvement in Management of Acute Coronary Syndrome: Continuing Medical Education and Peer Coaching Improve Antiplatelet Medication Adherence and Reduce Hospital Readmissions
This study evaluated the impact of a QI initiative on antiplatelet (P2Y12 inhibitor) medication adherence (measured via pharmacy fill rates postdischarge) and hospital readmissions. Results: Notable physician performance and patient-level changes included significant increases in antiplatelet medication counseling at hospital discharge (30%–57%; P

A Simulation-Based Workshop to Improve Dermatologists ’ Communication Skills: A Pilot for Continuing Medical Education
ConclusionsParticipants reported that this communication workshop effectively satisfied its learning objectives. Opportunities to practice and improve communication skills as part of continuing medical education will benefit the clinical experience of patients and physicians alike, and the workshop may be formatted to serve physicians of other specialties. The lowest-scoring communication areas identified in this study present an opportunity to develop a tailored curriculum for physician –patient communication in the future.
