Medical Meeting Reformer

Explain how major forces are shaping medical meetings.

Identify ways in which traditional CME needs to shift to serve the needs of today's HCPs.

Identify techniques you can use to align your ed activities with the needs of HCP learners.

Education Techniques

Onsite instruction supports social learning--not lectures--with
complex content.

Speakers focus less on lecturing and content presentation and more on assisting learners on sense-making and application of content.

HCPs are given ample feedback from peers, colleagues during CME learning experiences.

HCPs are given ample feedback from peers, colleagues during CME learning experiences.

Shift from a need to collect information to a need to draw conclusions from it: acquire, disseminate & collaborate in its use.

HCP learners must be active participants in the learning process--not mere listeners.

Simulations must compliment real HCP experiences and community clinical exposure.

Small group discussion better reinforce learning that leads to practice/patient improvement.

HCPs learn better in groups so they can perform better as individuals--believe they sink or swim together.

HCPs work together so that they maximize their own and each other's learnings.

Process of knowledge production moving to more social models as organizations place emphais on distributed teams and collaboration.

Integrates competency areas to build a bridge to cross the quality chasm of patient-centered care, interdisciplinary teams, evidence based practice & quality informatics.
