Modern Methods

The purpose of medical education, as well as of skills for medical doctors and veterinary doctors (continuing medical education and professional development), is to encourage decision-makers and healthcare professionals to ensure appropriate mechanisms for safe medical care. Medical education has been affected by several technological and financial developments. The rapidly evolving technology and knowledge challenged traditional educational concepts. Also alternative methods for training are in use in many centres worldwide (patient simulators, cadaver tissues, robotics, participation in daily surgery and other).

AbstractIntroductionContinuing medical education (CME) is beneficial to physicians in managing public health problems, yet CME courses rarely address these topics. The purpose of our study was to assess whether leading public health problems, in alignment with their burdens on society, have a proportionate amount of CME opportunities for healthcare professionals.MethodsWe reviewed all of the CME courses offered by the top 10 research and top 10 primary care medical schools from January 1, 2019 through June 30, 2019 for CME hours directed toward the leading public health problems: obesity, smoking, substance abuse, heart disease, COPD, lung cancer, back pain, depression, and diabetes.ResultsOf 9355 total CME course hours, dedicated course time, along with the number of individuals affected, and the cost to society, respectively were: obesity 118 (1.3%) hours, 93 million, $147 billion, tobacco cessation 75 (0.8%) hours, 34 million, $300 billion, and substance abuse 157 (1.7%) hours, 43 million, $300 billion.DiscussionPublic health problems were grossly underrepresented in the amount of dedicated course time compared to their burden on society. More CME courses offerings addressing management of the leading public health problems would likely reduce the burden of illnesses associated with those conditions.

State Board

Continuing education (CE) courses in pharmacy and medicine often overlap with regard to their informational content. At the present time, however, it is feasible that two pharmacists could attend the same national meeting that has continuing medical education (CME) approval status and only one of them would receive CE credit from his state board of pharmacy. Therefore, a survey of 51 state board of pharmacy policies regarding acceptance of CME was conducted. Forty-five of the 51 boards of pharmacy require CE for relicensure. Twenty percent of state boards requiring CE accept CME credit without review, 24 percent do not accept CME credit, and the remaining 56 percent review submitted requests for CME credit. A general lack of uniformity exists among state boards regarding policies pertaining to CE credit. If CME credit was universally accepted, pharmacists would benefit from the increased availability of CE, the building of collegial relationships with other healthcare professionals, and the cost savings of combining courses that mutually benefit both pharmacists and physicians.
