Summary
Small group learning is common in medical Continuing Professional Development (CPD) but under-researched. These formats impact professionalism, clinical performance, and doctor wellbeing, warranting further exploration.
Area of Science:
- Medical Education
- Professional Development
- Psychiatry
Background:
- Small group learning is a prevalent format in medical Continuing Professional Development (CPD).
- Its application is noted particularly in general practice, yet research remains limited.
- These learning formats serve diverse participant needs and influence professionalism, clinical performance, and physician wellbeing.
Purpose of the Study:
- To review the literature on small group learning formats within medical CPD.
- To specifically examine the Continuing Professional Development (CPD) Peer Review Groups (PRGs) utilized by the Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Psychiatrists (RANZCP).
Main Methods:
- A comprehensive literature review was conducted.
- International peer-reviewed publications focusing on small group learning in medical CPD were analyzed.
Main Results:
- Small group learning is widely adopted in medical CPD, especially in general practice.
- Despite common use, these methods are not extensively researched.
- Participants value small groups for various reasons, noting positive effects on professionalism, clinical skills, and overall wellbeing.
Conclusions:
- The contribution of small group learning to medical CPD requires further investigation.
- This review serves as a foundational element for a larger research project on the RANZCP PRG model.
