Medical education can be divided into three segments: undergraduate, graduate, and continuing. Of these, continuing medical education (CME) clearly takes place for the longest time--if the practicing physician is to employ recent scientific developments that translate into optimal practice. Our assignment was to examine the past, present, and future of CME. We evaluated what forms it has taken and what forms it may take. We also include a review of the evidence of its impact.
本科、研究生和继续医学教育。其中,继续医学教育(CME)显然持续时间最长——前提是执业医师要采用能转化为最佳实践的最新科学进展。我们的任务是审视继续医学教育的过去、现在和未来。我们评估了它过去采用的形式以及可能采用的形式。我们还对其影响的证据进行了综述。
