Session 2: CME plugged in
|
CME-accredited e-learning is becoming of increasing importance in European CME, this session looked at what constitutes best practice online, unravelling the techno-speak that the area has brought to the field of medical education, it examined the different types of technological solutions that are available and gave pointers to what to look out for and how to implement best practice online. Online learning also brings additional challenges, from the accreditation process, to the different types of outcomes that can be expected as well as the array of things that can be measured.

A session that examined what actually matters in European CME, where specialists introduced a series of international examples for consideration and CME "hot topics" as case vignettes for panel discussion.

Session 5: Measuring outcomes in CME
|
Much is discussed about the desired outcome of an educational activity, but how can it be measured? Does it matter? And how can the patient benefit from CME at the end of the day? The delegates were guided through the techniques and concepts that can be employed to demonstrate and measure uptake of knowledge. Delegates participated in a workshop specially devised for this meeting by the University of Toronto, taken from their new qualification for CME professionals, to help delegates understand the principles involved.

Session 6: Learner and Industry relationships with UK and European CME/CPD
|
There are many changes afoot in UK and European CME/CPD systems as more learners engage with CME, and with its growth comes the issue of financing programmes. Whether employers or doctors pay for their own CME/CPD, or industry helps with financial assistance, there is a need for clear systems to be put in place, as well as appropriate relationships and full transparency where commercial interests are involved. This session looked into latest developments, when it comes to the learner's interaction with CME and how closely industry is and should be involved in CME-CPD. Attention was given to the recently formalised Revalidation system for doctors in the UK and the suggested changes by the ABPI in how the pharmaceutical industry interacts with CME/CPD in order to ensure transparency and higher quality when supporting CME/CPD programmes. This discussion was then expanded to encompass other European countries.

Session 7: The CME Unsession
|
The final session of the meeting was one with no agenda, and where the audience made up the discussion panel. Lawrence Sherman (SVP Educational Strategy, Prova Education) used this open session to review key learning points from the two days and elucidate any questions that remained unanswered. The audience had the opportunity to delve deeper into select topics and make sure that they left the meeting having all the questions they came with answered.
