ABSTRACT: Novel educational approach for medical students: improved retention rates using interactive medical software compared with traditional lecture-based format.

Abstract BACKGROUND: Mannequin and computer-based simulators are useful for the practice of patient management, physical procedures, and competency. However, they are ineffective in teaching clinical medicine. StepStone Interactive Medical Software (SS) is a web-based medical learning modality that provides the user with a highly focused set of evaluative and interventional tasks to

ABSTRACT: Improving participant feedback to continuing medical education presenters in internal medicine: a mixed-methods study.

Abstract BACKGROUND: Feedback is essential for improving the skills of continuing medical education (CME) presenters. However, there has been little research on improving the quality of feedback to CME presenters. OBJECTIVES: To validate an instrument for generating balanced and behavior-specific feedback from a national cross-section of participants to presenters at a large internal medicine

Continuing education meetings and workshops: effects on professional practice and health care outcomes (Review)

In this update, we examined the effects of continuing education meetings on professional practice and patient outcomes. We also investigated factors that might influence the effectiveness of educational meetings. We used methods that have been developed by the Cochrane Effective Practice and Organisation of Care (EPOC) Group (Grimshaw 2003) since the previous review ( O’Brien 2001).

MANUSCRIPT: Intended Practice Changes and Barriers among Primary Care Providers

Background. The purpose of accredited CME has recently been enhanced to change competence, performance or patient outcomes. In addition, CME providers seeking accreditation with commendation are required to implement educational strategies to remove, overcome or address barriers to physician change. However, current methods to measure intended changes in practice and

ABSTRACT: Commitment to change instrument enhances program planning, implementation, and evaluation.

Abstract INTRODUCTION: This study investigates the use of a commitment to change (CTC) instrument as an integral approach to continuing medical education (CME) planning, implementation, and evaluation and as a means of facilitating physician behavior change. METHODS: Descriptive statistics and grounded theory methods were employed. Data were collected from 20 consecutive CME programs. Physicians

ABSTRACT: Commitment to change statements can predict actual change in practice.

Abstract INTRODUCTION: Statements of commitment to change are advocated both to promote and to assess continuing education interventions. However, most studies of commitment to change have used self-reported outcomes, and self-reports may significantly overestimate actual performance. As part of an educational randomized controlled trial, this study documented changes that family physicians committed

ABSTRACT: Commitment to Practice Change: An Evaluator’s Perspective

Abstract A commitment to practice change (CTC) approach may be used in educational program evaluation to document practice changes, examine the educational impact relative to the instructional focus, and improve understanding of the learning-to-change continuum. The authors reviewed various components and procedures of this approach and discussed some practical aspects of

ABSTRACT: Effects of a signature on rates of change: a randomized controlled trial involving continuing education and the commitment-to-change model.

Abstract PURPOSE: Physicians frequently are asked to sign commitments to change practice, based upon their involvement in continuing medical education (CME) activities. Although use of the commitment-to-change model is increasingly widespread in CME, the effect of signing such commitments on rates of change is not well understood. METHOD: Immediately after a CME session, 110
