Does locally delivered small group continuing medical education (CME) meet the learning needs of rural general practitioners?
Authors: Dowling S, Last J, Finnegan H, O'Connor K, Cullen W Abstract The World Health Organisation policy of improving retention of rural health care practitioners recommended that continuing medical education (CME) programmes addressing their needs should be accessible and delivered where they live and work. This cross-sectional study involved a self-administered anonymous questionnaire completed by GPs attending CME small groups (CME-SGL) in Ireland. All GPs attending CME-SGL in a one-month period were invited to complete the questionnaire which examined demographic details, distance to travel to educational mee...

The Albany Two‐Way Radio Conferences, 1955–1981: A Retrospective Look at a Program Providing Interactive Continuing Medical Education at a Distance
Despite early widespread recognition of the necessity of continuing medical education (CME) for practicing physicians and surgeons, medical schools and national medical organizations were slow to mobilize to address the need. One pioneering program, developed by the Albany Medical College in New York, not only provided CME, but did so in a live distance education format that allowed for interaction between the participants and the faculty presenters. The Albany Program commenced in 1955 using what was then state‐of‐the‐art technology; it exemplified principles and practices that can be seen as the precursors for the ...

Assessing the Impact of a Medical Librarian on Identification of Valid and Actionable Practice Gaps for a Continuing Medical Education Committee
ConclusionMedical librarians can provide a valuable service to CME committees by identifying valid professional practice gaps that inform decisions about educational activities aimed at improving clinical practice. Medical librarians bring into deliberations unique information, including national health policy priorities, practice gaps found in the literature, and point‐of‐care search engine statistics.

How does small group continuing medical education (CME) impact on practice for rural GPs and their patients, a mixed-methods study.
Authors: Dowling S, Last J, Finnegan H, Bourke J, Daly P, Hanrahan C, Harrold P, McCoombe G, Cullen W Abstract Studies which report outcomes of continuing medical education (CME) interventions for rural general practitioners (GPs) are limited. This mixed methods study recruited GPs from four CME small group learning (SGL) tutor groups based in different rural locations in the Republic of Ireland. A two-hour teaching module on deprescribing in older patients was devised and implemented. Assessment of educational outcomes was via questionnaires, prescribing audits and qualitative focus groups. All GPs (n = 43) in the...

The Librarian's Contribution to Continuing Medical Education.
Authors: Gerber AL Abstract At many hospitals, including Robert Wood Johnson (RWJ) University Hospital Rahway, librarians facilitate continuing medical education (CME) programs, sometimes working in that capacity as much as in their traditional librarian functions such as reference, research, cataloging, and bibliographic instruction. This column traces the relationship between the two aspects of the RWJ Rahway's CME coordinator and health sciences librarian's job to demonstrate that, because of their duties and skills, medical librarians can meaningfully contribute to hospitals' CME programs. The worlds of librari...

The Long‐Term Impact of a Performance Improvement Continuing Medical Education Intervention on Osteoporosis Screening
DiscussionThe data indicate that PI CME utilizing QI principles can be effective in producing sustainable change in practice to improve the screening of patients at risk for osteoporosis. Further research is needed to determine the extent to which such changes can be directly attributed to this type of intervention.

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 ...

Impact of Performance Improvement Continuing Medical Education on Cardiometabolic Risk Factor Control: The COSEHC Initiative
DiscussionThese data demonstrate that our PI CME activity is a useful strategy in assisting physicians to improve their management of cardiometabolic control rates in female patients with abnormal cholesterol control. Other studies that extend across longer PI CME PDSA periods may be needed to demonstrate statistical improvements in overall cardiometabolic treatment goals in men, women, and various subpopulations.

Do sequentially-presented answer options prevent the use of testwiseness cues on continuing medical education tests?
Abstract Testwiseness—that is, the ability to find subtle cues towards the solution by the simultaneous comparison of the available answer options—threatens the validity of multiple-choice (MC) tests. Discrete-option multiple-choice (DOMC) has recently been proposed as a computerized alternative testing format for MC tests, and presumably allows for a better control of testwiseness. It is based on a sequential rather than simultaneous presentation of answer options. The test taker has to decide on the correctness of one option after another, until the item has been answered either correctly or incorrectly. Te...

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...

Do Continuing Medical Education (CME) Events Cover the Content Physicians Want to Know? A Content Analysis of CME Offerings
DiscussionDifferences between questions asked by physicians at the point of care and the content of contemporaneous CME refresher courses can be analyzed to identify gaps in CME offerings. This knowledge could be used to develop CME curricula and highlight areas of need for inclusion in refresher courses.

Development and Implementation of a Continuing Medical Education Program in Canada: Knowledge Translation for Renal Cell Carcinoma (KT4RCC)
The objective of this study was to develop a CME program and determine if the program was effective for improving participant knowledge. CME programs for clinicians were delivered by local experts (uro-oncologist and medical oncologist) in four Canadian cities. Participants completed knowledge assessment tests pre-CME, immediately post-CME, and 3-month post-CME. Test questions were related to topics covered in the CME program including prognostic factors for advanced disease, surgery for advanced disease, indications for hereditary screening, systemic therapy, and management of small renal masses. Fifty-two participants at...
