Royal Colleges CME initiative focuses on lifelong practice-integrated learning

摘要

An innovative continuing medical education (CME) initiative of the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada is gaining worldwide attention. Emphasizing lifelong learning, the Maintenance of Competence Program gives college fellows an efficient, effective way to determine their educational needs, manage their CME activities and hone their clinical practice habits. More than half of college fellows are expected to join it by this summer. A spokesperson predicts that in 5 years bodies such as licensing authorities and hospital-privileges committees will require evidence of participation in a structured CME plan.
