PILOT STUDY
Sonya Misra, MD William O. Robertson, MD A b s t r a c t In 1991-92 a statewide survey was conducted by the Washington Board of Medical Examiners as as component of its relicensing program. The goal was to obtain relicenses' perceptions of their CME "needs". The data were analyzed by drawing three random samples--each having n=200--from a total of some 4,200 returns. Those returns represented more than 70% of the relicensees queried. No significant differences were found among the three subsamples of the tallied data. Overall, an enormous diversity of needs was found to exist; clearly, that diversity could justify virtually any CME program imaginable. At the same time an overabundance of CME offerings specifically related to IDS was reported by the respondents. The respondents were strong supporters of reading medical journals which provided 41% of their CME learning. Somewhat surprisingly, only 14% of the respondents reported participating in specialty specific recertification programs. These and other findings suggest that this technique of a statewide survey with its high response rate can provide far more representative data than has been available in the past--and at far less cost. |
