CME stands for commercial medical education: and ACCME still won't address the issue
Dr McMahon, who directs the US Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME), criticises1 our article on how continuing medical education (CME) was used to sell hypoactive sexual desire disorder,2 stating that we ‘provide no supporting evidence’ for our claims that CME courses are an important marketing tool. Perhaps he missed the references in our article, but additional studies support our points.3–9 Dr McMahon also claims that industry supported only 11% of CME activities.1 10 However, ACCME doesn't count two forms of industry funding as commercial support. In 2011, ACCME stopped requi...

Understanding the Evolving Continuing Medical Education Needs of Physicians Managing Patients with TD
This study sought to understand the evolving continuing medical education (CME) needs of physicians managing patients with tardive dyskinesia (TD). A case-based survey was developed, and later updated, to assess current practice, knowledge, and attitudes of neurologists and psychiatrists in the management of patients with TD. The original and updated survey were fielded in May 2018 and March 2020, respectively, to US-practicing psychiatrists and neurologists. Results were obtained from 213 psychiatrists and 187 neurologists in 2018 and from 125 psychiatrists and 128 neurologists in 2020. Less than half of physicians in bot...

The Geography Of Graduate Medical Education: Imbalances Signal Need For New Distribution Policies Graduate Medical Education
Graduate medical education (GME) determines the overall number, specialization mix, and geographic distribution of the US physician workforce. Medicare GME payments—which represent the largest single public investment in health workforce development—are allocated based on an inflexible system whose rationale, effectiveness, and balance are increasingly being scrutinized. We analyzed Medicare cost reports from teaching hospitals and found large state-level differences in the number of Medicare-sponsored residents per 100,000 population (1.63 in Montana versus 77.13 in New York), total Medicare GME payments ($1.6...

Financing Graduate Medical Education to Meet the Needs of Children and the Future Pediatrician Workforce
The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) believes that an appropriately financed graduate medical education (GME) system is critical to ensuring that sufficient numbers of trained pediatricians are available to provide optimal health care to all children. A shortage of pediatric medical subspecialists and pediatric surgical specialists currently exists in the United States, and this shortage is likely to intensify because of the growing numbers of children with chronic health problems and special health care needs. It is equally important to maintain the supply of primary care pediatricians. The AAP, therefore, recommends ...

Aiming for Better Medical Education in Africa
Improving healthcare standards in developing countries does not simply mean enhanced access to medicines. Often medical education systems are not fit for purpose, and inherent problems with infrastructure, communication, and facilities in remote areas, in particular, mean that modernization of medicine is next to impossible. The African Institute for Medical Education (AIM) is a CPA-audited 501 c.3. organization registered in the US in 2014, and its goal is exceptionally admirable – to educate nurses, midwives and other medical professionals by visiting the most remote villages in Uganda by delivering “the most advance...
