INFORMED OPINION
Philip G. Klotz, MD Colin R. Woolf, MD A b s t r a c t To improve the usefulness of CME programs, a Continuing Education Consultant Network (CECON) was developed in Ontario, Canada, by the University of Toronto, Faculty of Medicine Continuing Education Office. This network consists of 70 community practicing physicians distributed throughout Ontario and divided into 18 task forces with three to five members in each group. Each task force is representative of a medical subspecialty. Before full development of a CME course, new ideas are submitted to all the CECON members for opinion. Also, proposed programs are submitted to specific task forces for opinion before being offered so that changes can be made. Contact is made by mail or by telephone conference, and no travel is involved. CECON consultants discuss the questions submitted and the courses with other members in the peer group and therefore usually involve a wider response than just from the CECON consultants themselves. The network has been very successful in anticipating problems and provides the flexibility necessary to allow ideas and courses to be changed before they are in a fixed state.
