Assessing Educational Needs in Medical Practice: Guidelines for the CME Planning Committee Member
Abstract:
The most relevant and effective continuing medical education activities are those which address carefully identified and prioritized learning needs. As a consequence, discussions and activities of CME planning committees frequently focus upon the identification and assessment of physicians' educational needs.

These guidelines should enhance the effectiveness of a physician's participation in CME planning committee activities.
