To evaluate the effectiveness of a competency-based continuing medical education (CME) conference model for physician assistants (PAs) and NPs.
This mixed-method research included a pretest/post-test assessment of knowledge and procedural assessment for six clinical skills, along with an open-ended survey to assess the value of an educational conference for PAs and NPs (N = 48) in an urban academic healthcare facility.
Significant increases in knowledge scores and all six clinical skill procedures were noted from pre- to post-test. Participants said they acquired new techniques and knowledge (55%) or improved current knowledge and skills (40%).
The competency-based conference model could serve as a viable method for providing evidence-based learning and informed practice as well as instilling reflective practice and a commitment to personal growth.
评估基于能力的继续医学教育(CME)会议模式对医师助理(PA)和执业护士(NP)的有效性。
这项混合方法研究包括对六种临床技能进行知识的预测试/后测试评估和程序评估,以及一项开放式调查,以评估城市学术医疗设施中PA和NP(N = 48)参加教育会议的价值。
从测试前到测试后,知识分数和所有六种临床技能程序均显著提高。参与者表示他们获得了新技术和知识(55%)或提升了现有知识和技能(40%)。
基于能力的会议模式可作为一种可行的方法,用于提供循证学习和明智的实践,以及灌输反思性实践和对个人成长的承诺。
