Welcome and Happy New Year!
Late last year I had the pleasure of hosting a focus group on best practices in writing needs assessments for continuing medical education programs. The focus group was part of a larger research project I'm working on with my co-investigator and fellow medical writer Ruwaida Vakil, MS. We are scheduled to present the results of our research this week in Dallas, Texas, as part of the Alliance for Continuing Education in the Health Professions' annual meeting.
A brief executive summary of our focus group, along with a full transcript, are posted here for your review. I especially recommend this meaty synopsis to those whose appetites were whetted at our workshop.
Bon appetit!
