Attendees at the 19th Annual Alliance for Continuing Medical Education (ACME)
meeting in February 1994 were asked to respond to a survey identifying skills and characteristics
needed by the continuing medical education (CME) professionals of the twenty-first
century. Ninety-one attendees responded, representing an estimated response rate of 15%.
Respondents identified educational skills, particularly those related to educational technology,
and self-directed learning as key skills needed by CME professionals of the future. In addition,
management skills related to quality improvement were identified as important. These findings
have many implications for curricular development and education of CME professionals.
