Calling All CME Writers

Two Delaware Valley medical writers are conducting an online survey. Andrew Bowser and Don Harting would like your insights on writing CME needs assessments. The fourth annual survey on best practices closes October 6. Our survey changes yearly. While some questions are repeated to track trends, other questions probe new issues such as interprofessional education, storytelling techniques, and updating reference lists.

If you have written at least several CME needs assessments, please consider investing about 15 minutes to complete all 10 questions. We will provide the raw results to all respondents by Thanksgiving and disseminate the analyzed results during 2018.

Bonus: 10 lucky respondents will win a free book of nature essays, including one essay that won first prize in the Soul-Making Keats Literary Competition sponsored by the National League of American Pen Women. The author happens to be a nurse who writes needs assessments for a leading CME company in Connecticut.

This November I will be co-presenting a workshop titled Writing and Editing CME Needs Assessments during the annual meeting of the American Medical Writers Association. We will start by reviewing the latest results of our survey research on best practices and quality indicators, then break up into small groups for a hands-on editing activity. For a copy of the "recipes" we will be following during the breakout session, send me an email: don (at) hartingcom.com.
