The Impact of CME on Physician Performance and Patient Health Outcomes: An Updated Synthesis of Systematic Reviews

DiscussionFuture research on CME effectiveness must take account of the wider social, political, and organizational factors that play a role in physician performance and patient health outcomes.

These insights from the scientific study of CME effectiveness should be incorporated in ongoing efforts to reform systems of CME and health care delivery.
