Perception and Attitude of Medical School Faculty toward Participation in University-Sponsored Continuing Medical Education
Gregory C. Gardner, MD
Linda E. Pinsky, MD
A b s t r a c t
Medical school faculty are asked to provide a major portion of the continuing medical
education (CME) that occurs in the United States, yet little information is available
regarding their attitude toward participating in CME. Members of the faculty from the Department
of Medicine at the University of Washington were surveyed regarding their involvement in university-
sponsored CME in order to identify issues that could be addressed to improve and
enhance their participation. The perceived “costs” and “benefits” to the faculty were identified.
Although each institution may have a different set of perceived costs and benefits,
information from this survey may be useful to increase medical school faculty participation
in CME and to make it a more rewarding endeavor.
