    Area of Science:

    • Medical Education
    • Continuing Professional Development

    Background:

    • McMaster University Faculty of Health Sciences provides continuing medical education (CME).
    • Physicians can register for individual courses or opt for an annual fee-based membership.
    • The annual fee model includes membership in the McMaster Continuing Medical Education Society.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the effectiveness of two CME registration models.
    • To assess the impact of an annual fee and society membership on physician engagement.
    • To determine if the society model achieves objectives of reduced cost, selectivity, and increased motivation.

    Main Methods:

    • Analysis of registration data for individual courses versus annual fee.
    • Review of the operational objectives and outcomes of the McMaster Continuing Medical Education Society.

    Related Experiment Videos

  • Assessment of physician feedback and participation rates related to the society model.

    • Main Results:

    • The annual fee model provides membership in the McMaster Continuing Medical Education Society.
    • The society model aims to decrease per-course cost, allow material selectivity, and boost physician motivation.
    • Achievement of these objectives has created a funding base and member input for CME planning.

    Conclusions:

    • The annual fee and society membership model at McMaster University offers a structured approach to CME.
    • This model potentially enhances physician engagement and provides a sustainable framework for developing CME events.
    • Member input through the society serves as a valuable guide for future CME planning and delivery.
