Internet enduring materials for clinicians have nearly doubled. A pooled analysis suggests a Cohen's d benchmark of 0.48-0.75 for evaluating online Continuing Medical Education effectiveness.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Digital Health
  • Continuing Medical Education (CME)

Background:

  • The production of certified internet enduring materials has nearly doubled in the past decade.
  • Meta-analyses confirm the effectiveness of internet-based clinician education.
  • The applicability of existing meta-analyses to the large volume of certified online CME activities is uncertain.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To establish a relevant benchmark for the effectiveness of accredited, internet-based enduring materials.
  • To analyze the pooled effect size of online CME materials using a standardized mean difference (Cohen's d).
  • To assess the comparability of online CME effectiveness data with external benchmarks.

Main Methods:

  • A pooled standardized mean difference (Cohen's d) was calculated.
Keywords:

  • Data was analyzed from 40 accredited, internet-based enduring materials.
  • Materials were produced between 2016 and 2018.

    • Main Results:

    • A pooled Cohen's d between 0.48 and 0.75 was identified as a potential benchmark.
    • Benchmarks reported in peer-reviewed literature for this format are generally higher.
    • Limitations in comparing current data with external benchmarks were considered.

    Conclusions:

    • The identified benchmark (Cohen's d: 0.48-0.75) offers a metric for CME providers to assess online enduring material effectiveness.
    • Caution is advised when comparing these findings to benchmarks from peer-reviewed literature due to potential differences in methodology and scope.
    • Further research may be needed to refine benchmarks for online CME effectiveness.
