A needs assessment indicated that New Mexico physicians wanted more personalized, flexible continuing medical education experiences. In response, the University of New Mexico (UNM) School of Medicine (SOM) Office of Continuing Medical Education (OCME) developed a miniresidency program that allows community-based physicians to be placed in clinical hospital departments for focused learning experienced. This program is coordinated through the OCME in cooperation with departments in the School of Medicine. Using a learner-centered approach to continuing medical education provides diverse opportunities for practicing physicians to do the following: 1) develop personalized continuing medical education experiences based on specific learning objectives; 2) augment present skills and knowledge; and 3) explore recent developments in a specialty area. This paper describes the program, presents the results of a pilot evaluation study and discusses program benefits as well as other important issues.
