MEDICINE
Edwin F. Rosinski, EdD A b s t r a c t Arguments continue regarding the value of continuing medical education (CME) and its impact on physician behavior and ultimately on the quality of life of patients. Through the years considerable emphasis has been placed on assessing the value of CME, usually through end-of-course evaluations. Realizing that this form of physician assessment only implied that physician behavior in a medical setting changed, attention was refocused on evaluating actual practice through chart audits and the like. While studies on physician behavior tended to support the positive impact of CME on physician behavior, the paucity of data on the effect of CME on patient outcomes suggests that considerable research in this area is needed. |
