Setting the standard: Medical Education's first 50 years
ConclusionsThe journal has provided the medical education community with a place in which to both discuss practical pedagogical concerns and ponder conceptual and social issues affecting the medical education community. This dual nature of the journal brings together educators and researchers; it also gives particular focus to a major and rarely cited tension in medical education between the quest for objective standards and the limitations of standard measures.

Ultrasound in undergraduate medical education: a systematic and critical review
ConclusionsOur analysis has shown that the frequently repeated rationales for the integration of ultrasound in UME are not supported by a sufficient base of empirical research. The repetition of these dominant discursive rationales in academic publications legitimises them and may preclude further primary research. As the value of clinical ultrasound use by medical students remains unproven, educators must consider whether the associated financial and temporal costs are justified or whether more research is required.

A tale of Congress, continuing medical education, and the history of medicine.
Abstract Well-intentioned attempts by the Senate Finance Committee to improve the content and quality of continuing medical education (CME) offerings had the unanticipated consequence of decimating academically oriented history of medicine conferences. New guidelines intended to keep CME courses free of commercial bias from the pharmaceutical industry were worded in a fashion that caused CME officials at academic institutions to be reluctant to offer CME credit for history of medicine gatherings. At the 2013 annual conference of the American Association for the History of Medicine, we offered a novel solution for ...

‘It was serendipity’: a qualitative study of academic careers in medical education
ConclusionsBourdieu's theory provides insight into medical educator career paths and the positioning of medical education within medical schools. Medical educators have an indistinct practice, and limited cultural capital in the form of research outputs. In order to maintain and strengthen their careers, educators must create alternative sources of capital, through fostering collaborative alliances.

Educational interventions for international medical graduates: a review and agenda
ConclusionsResearch into education for IMGs is critically important but currently underdeveloped. An abundance of justification studies and lack of clarification studies parallel other areas of medical education. Academic fields outside medical education, such as those of cross‐cultural psychology and expatriate management, are highly relevant; researchers from these areas should be sought for collaboration. Future research should employ conceptual frameworks in order to facilitate a broader, more nuanced consideration of the diversity of individual IMGs, educational and medical contexts, interventions and outcomes. Rigo...

Same‐level peer‐assisted learning in medical clinical placements: a narrative systematic review
ConclusionMany student‐related benefits of PAL were identified. PAL contributes to the development of crucial skills required for a doctor in the workplace. Vertical integration of learning and teaching skills across the curriculum and tools such as feedback checklists may be required for successful PAL in the clinical environment. Benefits for patients and educators were poorly characterised within the included studies. Future work should evaluate the use of PAL with regards to student, clinician educator and patient outcomes.

Comparison of Continuing Medical Education at U.S. Medical Schools and Other Accredited Organizations: A 20-Year Analysis
Conclusions While medical schools represent less than 20% of all ACCME-accredited organizations, their role is pivotal and their influence far-reaching. For medical schools to fulfill their responsibility as education leaders, they need to prioritize support for CME offices and faculty development and implement new approaches to teaching and learning.

Commercial Interests in Continuing Medical Education: Where Do Electronic Health Record Vendors Fit?
The Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) will not accredit an organization that it defines as a commercial interest, that is an entity that produces, markets, resells, or distributes health care goods or services consumed by, or used on, patients. Thus, commercial interests are not eligible to be accredited organizations offering continuing medical education (CME) credit to physicians. This decision is based on the concern that commercial interests may use CME events to market their products or services to physicians, who then might inappropriately prescribe or administer those products or service...

Inspiring Curiosity and Restoring Humility: The Evolution of Competency-Based Continuing Medical Education
Dr. David Price and his colleagues, in their article in this issue of Academic Medicine, summarize the findings from recent studies regarding the association of Maintenance of Certification and physicians’ learning and improvements in care. Their evaluation demonstrates that physicians often changed their practice because of these educational interventions. In this Invited Commentary, the author argues that, although this finding is reassuring, it may be the right answer to the wrong question. The critical questions the profession faces are whether physicians have the humility to routinely submit themselves to the judgme...

Health After Cancer: An Innovative Continuing Medical Education Course Integrating Cancer Survivorship Into Primary Care
Problem The transition from oncology care back to primary care after cancer therapy is challenging for cancer survivors who seek services that address the effect of their cancer history on their present health. Lack of knowledge about the health needs of cancer survivors is a barrier to incorporating survivorship care into primary care practice. Formal training in cancer survivorship is rarely included in medical education and presents an opportunity for intervention. Approach The authors developed (January 2019–March 2020) an online continuing medical education (CME) course for primary care physicians (PCPs) ...

Validation of a Teaching Effectiveness Assessment in Psychiatry Continuing Medical Education
ConclusionsThis study provides a new, validated measure of CME teaching effectiveness that could be used to improve psychiatry CME. In contrast to prior research in other medical specialties, CME teaching effectiveness scores were not associated with use of case-based or interactive presentations. This outcome suggests the need for distinctive considerations regarding psychiatry CME; a singular approach to CME teaching may not apply to all medical specialties.

Bringing continuing medical education to the bedside: The university of California, San Francisco Hospitalist Mini‐College
DISCUSSIONThe UHMC successfully brought participants to an academic health center for a participatory, hands‐on, and small‐group learning experience that was highly rated. A shift of CME from a hotel conference room to the bedside is feasible, valued by participants, and offers a new paradigm for how to maintain and improve hospitalist competencies.
