Poster Summarizes Results from 3rd Annual Survey

This poster (shown above, less than full size) summarizes selected results from our 3rd annual survey of best practices writing CME needs assessments. The full-sized poster (56 inches by 36 inches) was displayed Thursday, November 17 during the annual meeting of the Mid-Atlantic Alliance for CME (MAACME) which took place at the Lehigh Valley Hospital in Allentown, Pennsylvania. We thank MAACME for this opportunity to disseminate these research data.

Results of the just-ended third annual survey of best practices for writing CME needs assessments won't be published until next year. [Exception: people who took the survey will have the raw results emailed to them by Thanksgiving.] BUT . . .  if you're interested in what we found out in the surveys conducted in 2014 and 2015, you're in luck. The American Medical Writers Association (AMWA) last month published a summary of the first two years' worth of survey results. The 4-page AMWA Journal article is posted in the open-access portion of the AMWA website, so you don't have to be a member to read it.

Here's the link to our article. (Scroll to page 128.)
