About this ebook
This concise, practical guide supports a broadly based understanding of continuing medical education and professional development, without being overly theoretical. Opening with the history of CME and CPD, their definitions and the difference between them, this book discusses recent changes in the culture of learning in medicine, including the transition of CME from didactic teaching to interactive, focused adult learning. It describes the replacement of a curricular approach by education driven by need, which, in turn, is defined by discovery and analysis of professional practice gaps. Particular emphasis is placed on the misdiagnosis gap, its causation and impact on patient care.
Key Features
- Articulates the essential difference between CME and undergraduate and postgraduate medical education
- Highlights the importance of professional practice gap discovery and analysis
- Outlines the planning and design of CME in relation to Moore’s Outcomes Pyramid
- Describes the various modalities of CME provision, methods of outcome assessment and accreditation systems
- Confirms the critical role that CPD plays in revalidation and maintenance of certification, with important considerations around fitness to practise
It is essential reading for those who use CME and those who plan, design, deliver and accredit CME, including practising healthcare professionals from all specialties, and CME providers, both independent and linked to specialist societies.
