Continuing Medical Education
Introduction: Bruce Spivey, M.D., Chairman, MedBiquitous, Deputy
Executive Vice President, Council of Medical Specialty Societies
In order for CME to truly help learners improve their
practice, we need to expect more of the physician learner, but we also need
to expect more of our CME providers. Dr. Kopelow describes how the
expectations for both learners and educators are shifting, and what educators
can do to promote effective learning and change.
