Physician engagement in regularly scheduled series (RSS) is driven by quality features, collegial interactions, and perceived outcomes. Addressing barriers can enhance participation in these valuable educational sessions.
Area of Science:
- Medical Education
- Continuing Professional Development
Background:
- Physician participation in regularly scheduled series (RSS), or grand rounds, was investigated.
- Focus was placed on physician perceptions of factors influencing engagement and unexpected benefits of RSS.
Purpose of the Study:
- To explore physician perceptions of elements affecting engagement in hospital-based regularly scheduled series (RSS).
- To identify unanticipated benefits derived from participation in RSS.
Main Methods:
- A qualitative study was conducted using semi-structured interviews.
- Thematic analysis was employed to examine physicians' perceptions of knowledge, educational needs, and engagement factors in local RSS.
Main Results:
- Physician engagement in RSS was influenced by four key themes: RSS quality features, collegial interactions, perceived outcomes, and barriers to participation.
- Specific modifiable features impacted perceived RSS quality.
- Interactions between colleagues and perceived outcomes were significant factors.
- Barriers were identified as reasons for non-participation.
Conclusions:
- Specific features of RSS significantly enhance physician engagement.
- RSS offers benefits that may not be captured by traditional continuing medical education (CME) outcome study designs.
