In 1981 a decision was made by the University of New Mexico School of Medicine to create a new Office of Community Professional Education whose primary function was to create continuing medical education programs tailored to its constituency. To accomplish this, a needs assessment survey was distributed to a stratified random sample of members of the New Mexico Medical Society practicing throughout the state to determine preferred learning styles, locations of programs and times of year, as well as other determinants for attending such programs. The survey was received by 647 physicians and 469 returned them-a response rate of 72.4 percent. Conclusions reached as a result of the needs assessment will serve as a basis of policy formation for the delivery of continuing medical education at the University of New Mexico School of Medicine.
1981年，新墨西哥大学医学院做出决定，设立一个新的社区专业教育办公室，其主要职能是创建适合其受众群体的继续医学教育项目。为实现这一目标，向在全州执业的新墨西哥医学协会成员的分层随机样本发放了一份需求评估调查问卷，以确定他们偏好的学习方式、项目地点、一年中的时间以及参加此类项目的其他决定因素。647名医生收到了调查问卷，469人予以回复，回复率为72.4%。需求评估得出的结论将作为新墨西哥大学医学院继续医学教育政策形成的基础。
