Allington GH Kouzekanani K A b s t r a c t Training of physicians in risk management has become an important task for continuing medical education (CME) directors, particularly in states where risk management education is required for licensure. Physicians in Florida who completed an introductory program in risk management were surveyed to determine future topics for risk management education. Physicians identified desired topics using a five-point Likert-type scaling (5 = high priority; 1 = low priority) and rated 55 topics within 10 major subject areas. The means, standard deviations, and rank order of topics within the subject areas are reported. Multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) revealed no significant differences between surgeons and non-surgeons with respect to the subject areas. A significant difference, however, was shown, between academic physicians and non-academic (private practice) physicians; non-academic physicians gave significantly higher scores to six subject areas: malpractice, medical records, acts or omissions constituting negligence, negligence/malpractice actions, defenses, and risk management programs. The results suggest that it is not necessary to plan separate risk management education programs for physicians according to their specialty; one should note, however, the higher priorities given by non-academic physicians and consider these differences when planning advanced risk management programs.
