Social Media, Evidence‐Based Tweeting, and JCEHP
Medical practice and medical journals must adapt to a constantly changing environment, in which social media plays an ever‐increasing role. Social media platforms such as Twitter can provide an opportunity to disseminate information in innovative ways. The concept of evidence‐based tweeting is introduced, especially as “tweeting the meeting” continues to expand within medical conferences and other venues important for continuing education for health care providers. Future social media strategies for the journal are outlined. (Source: Journal of Continuing Education in the Health Professions)

The Albany Two‐Way Radio Conferences, 1955–1981: A Retrospective Look at a Program Providing Interactive Continuing Medical Education at a Distance
Despite early widespread recognition of the necessity of continuing medical education (CME) for practicing physicians and surgeons, medical schools and national medical organizations were slow to mobilize to address the need. One pioneering program, developed by the Albany Medical College in New York, not only provided CME, but did so in a live distance education format that allowed for interaction between the participants and the faculty presenters. The Albany Program commenced in 1955 using what was then state‐of‐the‐art technology; it exemplified principles and practices that can be seen as the precursors for the ...

Do Family Physicians Choose Self‐Assessment Activities Based on What They Know or Don't Know?
DiscussionWe found inconsistent relationships between physician knowledge and SAM selection. For MOC to better impact quality, boards should consider directing physicians toward MOC activities that fill knowledge gaps rather than areas of strength.

Commitment to Change and Assessment of Confidence: Tools to Inform the Design and Evaluation of Interprofessional Education
This study examines use of the commitment‐to‐change model (CTC) and explores the role of confidence in evaluating change associated with participation in an interprofessional education (IPE) symposium. Participants included students, faculty, and practitioners in the health professions. MethodsSatisfaction with the symposium and levels of commitment and confidence in implementing a change were assessed with a post‐questionnaire and a follow‐up questionnaire distributed 60 days later. Participants who reported changed behavior were compared with those who did not make a change. Independent sample t‐tests determine...

Self‐Directed Study Using MP3 Players to Improve Auscultation Proficiency of Physicians: A Randomized, Controlled Trial
This study was a randomized, controlled trial of 83 noncardiologist volunteers exposed to a 12‐week lower cognitive load self‐study group using MP3 players containing heart sound audio files compared to a group receiving a 1‐time 1‐hour higher cognitive load multimedia lecture using the same audio files. The primary outcome measure was change in 15‐question posttest score at 4 and 12 weeks as compared to pretest on recognition of identical audio files introduced during training. In the self‐study group, the association of total exposure and deliberate practice effort (estimated by standard deviation of files pl...

Using a Commitment to Change Tool for Evaluation and Planning of a Global Competency‐Based Curriculum in Orthogeriatrics
This study reports retrospective outcomes data from the administration of a commitment to change (CTC) at orthogeriatrics courses and how the findings were used for curriculum improvement. MethodsDuring 2010–2012, a CTC questionnaire was administered at 8 educational courses attended by 513 orthopedic and trauma surgeons and medicine physicians in 5 countries. The CTC asked if physicians intended to change anything in their clinical practice as a result of participating and to list their specific changes. A 3‐month follow‐up was conducted to assess the status of intended changes and identify barriers to implementatio...

Professionalism and Maintenance of Certification: Using Vignettes Describing Interpersonal Dilemmas to Stimulate Reflection and Learning
DiscussionPhysicians negotiate a complex set of individual‐, social‐, and societal‐level factors in response to professional dilemmas. This finding has important implications for the promotion and assessment of professional behavior in practicing physicians. Reflecting on scenarios may be an opportunity for physicians to learn about how and why they make decisions in difficult situations.
