The history of continuing medical education (CME) activities in the United States originates in the early years of this century. CME programs have increased markedly in recent decades, but these activities have come to be viewed from many perspectives as inadequate. Recently, the Professional Standards Review Organization (PSRO's) have been proposed as a "solution" to the problems of CME. PSRO's may provide useful data to CME programs and could serve as mechanisms for evaluating these activities. Features of medical care problems which identify them as suitable subjects for CME activities using PSRO data are presented and discussed.
美国继续医学教育（CME）活动的历史始于本世纪初。近几十年来，CME项目显著增加，但从许多角度来看，这些活动仍被认为存在不足。最近，专业标准审查组织（PSRO）被提议作为解决CME问题的“方案”。PSRO可为CME项目提供有用的数据，并可作为评估这些活动的机制。本文介绍并讨论了利用PSRO数据将医疗问题识别为CME活动合适主题的特征。
