    This program uses library services for physician continuing medical education, focusing on actual needs identified through prescribing habits. It evaluates literature

    Area of Science:

    • Medical Education
    • Information Science

    Background:

    • Continuing medical education (CME) is crucial for physicians.
    • Traditional CME may not always address physicians' actual practice needs.
    • Library services can be integrated into CME to enhance physician learning.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe a program integrating library services into physician CME.
    • To base educational interventions on physicians' actual, not perceived, needs.
    • To evaluate the impact of targeted literature on physician prescribing habits.

    Main Methods:

    • Needs assessment conducted by reviewing physicians' drug-prescribing habits.
    • Selection of current medical literature tailored to individual physician needs.
    • Evaluation of changes in drug-prescribing patterns post-intervention.
