A Framework for Assessing Continuing Professional Development Activities for Satisfying Pharmacy Revalidation Requirements
Discussion:The framework can help professionals better select CPD activities prospectively, and makes assessment of CPD more objective by allowing quantification, which could be helpful for revalidation. We believe the framework could potentially help other health professionals with better management of their CPD irrespective of their field of practice.

Demoralization in Health Professional Practice: Development, Amelioration, and Implications for Continuing Education
This article reviews historical and empirical findings that describe the professional and personal value orientations of physicians and other health professionals. It reviews empirical and theoretical findings to consider the implications of conflict between these values and negatively perceived ethical and values orientations of health care organizations and commercial health care entities. Conflicts between personal and professional values of health professionals and larger health care related organizations and commercial entities with which they are associated may contribute to the development of demoralization and burn...

Integrating Interprofessional Education into Continuing Education: A Planning Process for Continuing Interprofessional Education Programs
Abstract Informal continuing interprofessional education (CIPE) can be traced back decades in the United States; however, interest in formal CIPE is recent. Interprofessional education (IPE) now is recognized as an important component of new approaches to continuing education (CE) that are needed to increase health professionals' ability to improve outcomes of care. Although there are examples of CIPE programs that are being successfully implemented, a clearly articulated, step‐by‐step planning process to help guide educators in providing effective CIPE programs is lacking. This lack of guidance poses a significant bar...

Internists' Views of Maintenance of Certification: A Stages‐of‐Change Perspective
Conclusions:Results show that physicians in the Preparation stage had overcome resistance to MOC as predicted by the “weak” principle of the TTM, but their attitude scores about the benefits of MOC were below what was expected by theory. This suggests that the structure of MOC may have made it easier for physicians to overcome barriers to MOC participation but may have lacked adequate resources to promote the benefits of participating in the process. More effort is needed to understand the specific benefits of MOC for reevaluating competencies, how to engage physicians and other stakeholders in the design of MOC, and h...

Multisource Feedback: Can It Meet Criteria for Good Assessment?
Discussion:The 7 criteria provided a useful framework to assess the quality of MSF instruments and enable an approach to analyzing gaps in instrument assessment. These criteria are likely to be helpful in assessing other instruments used in medical education. (Source: Journal of Continuing Education in the Health Professions)

(Mis)perceptions of Continuing Education: Insights From Knowledge Translation, Quality Improvement, and Patient Safety Leaders
This study is based on a qualitative interpretivist framework to guide the collection and analysis of data in semistructured interviews. Criterion‐based, maximum variation, and snowball sampling were used to identify key opinion leaders in each domain. The sample consisted of 15 individuals from the domains KT, QI, and PS. The transcripts were coded using a directed content analysis approach. Results:The findings are organized into 3 thematic subsections: (1) definition and interpretation of CE, (2) concerns about relevance and effectiveness of CE, and (3) opportunities for collaboration among CE and the other domains. W...

Enhancing Research Capacity for Global Health: Evaluation of a Distance‐Based Program for International Study Coordinators
This article describes the development, implementation, and evaluation of a distance‐based continuing education program for CRMs working outside the United States. Methods:A total of 692 applications were received from CRMs in 50 countries. Of these, 166 were admitted to the program in two cohorts. The program, taught online and in English, included 4 required and 1 optional course. Course materials were also provided as hard copies and on CDs. A pretest/posttest design was used to evaluate the outcome of the program in terms of changes in knowledge, participants' capacity‐building activities at their research sites; a...

The Practicum Script Concordance Test: An Online Continuing Professional Development Format to Foster Reflection on Clinical Practice
We describe the rationale and principles and report on the implementation of 2 online programs based on this new CPD initiative. Method:The Practicum Script Concordance Test program consists of daily testing and feedback over the course of a year using SCT items. Feedback is both global (eg, health professionals are told their cumulative mean score) and specific (eg, they can view the expert panel's responses together with their justifications for their answers). Participants have the option of contacting a personal tutor, to whom they can send questions. Data regarding feasibility, participation, and acceptability were co...
