13 We now have 39 systematic reviews that present an evidence-based approach to designing CME so that it is more likely to achieve the outcomes of improved physician performance and patient health outcomes.

GAINES, MLIS University of Georgia For non commercial educational use only. Page 13

14 With this significant scientific evidence base in tandem with numerous reports of practical strategies for effective CME, reforming CME is less a knowledge problem than a political problem of changing the systems of which CME is an important constituent element.

15 As this system continues to be negotiated amidst the struggle between the educational agendas and politicaleconomic agendas, it will be important to incorporate the insights from the scientific study of CME effectiveness.
