Delayed evaluation of European teaching sessions showed participants felt objectives were met and medical practices were modified. However, low scores for manager discussions highlight a need for further analysis in continuing medical education.
Area of Science:
- Medical Education
- Continuing Professional Development
- Anaesthesiology Training
Context:
- European teaching sessions in anaesthesiology were evaluated 3-6 months post-completion.
- Questionnaires assessed the impact of courses on professional practice and objectives.
- Data collected from 5 out of 7 participating centers.
Purpose:
- To analyze delayed evaluation results of European teaching sessions.
- To assess the perceived fulfillment of objectives and modification of medical practice post-training.
- To identify areas for improvement in continuing medical education programs.
Summary:
- 91 questionnaires returned, primarily from anaesthesiologists across various hospital types.
- High mean scores (around 7/10) for most evaluation items, including usefulness of abstract books and modifying practice.
- Significantly lower mean score (3.5/10) for 'discussion with a manager'; practice modification higher in private clinics vs. PSPH.
Impact:
- Participants reported achieving their learning objectives and implementing practice changes.
- Identified a critical gap in manager-participant discussions, suggesting a need for enhanced communication strategies.
- Findings inform the design and delivery of more effective continuing medical education for anaesthesiologists.
