SACME Virtual Journal Club September 2024

Session Overview

This month we continue our series with authors who contributed publications to the recent Journal of Continuing Education in the Health Professions (JCEHP) supplement themed “Conceptual Advances in Continuing Professional Development in the Health Professions.” Join us for the opportunity to hold conversations with scholars in our field who are examining and challenging some of the prevailing assumptions and proposing new empirical and theoretical insights.

Single (“one and done”) accredited activities allow CPD providers to provide educational breadth across different topics, specialties, and professionals. Implementation science suggests that this strategy is insufficient to meaningfully address complex, multifaceted healthcare problems. Indeed, meta-analyses of CME have also shown that longitudinal multimodal interventions are more likely to lead to practice change. Frameworks for longitudinal CPD interventions connecting learning and doing in the workplace have been proposed.  Evaluation methods and frameworks from quality improvement, implementation science, and social science can help monitor the outcomes of these interventions over time.

After a brief overview of concepts of longitudinal CPD initiatives, participants will be asked to discuss and share initial efforts, facilitators, and challenges in applying these concepts in their CPD context.

As always, we welcome your thoughts and perspectives and hope to see you engaged in our VJC.
