BACKGROUND: The objective of this study was to identify physicians in the province of British Columbia (BC) who are perceived by their colleagues to be the most educationally influential.
METHODS: A cross-sectional study using a previously validated survey tool was mailed to a randomly selected sample of 2300 BC registered primary care physicians. Follow-up mailings were sent to nonresponders.
RESULTS: The survey response rate was 53%. A list of 375 educationally influential physicians (EIs) was proportionately determined and tabulated by region.
IMPLICATIONS: The top 5% of provincial EIs were identified to serve as a resource for formal and informal continuing medical education (CME). Their names will be brought forward in response to selected requests for CME speakers.
