1. What are CME and CPD? Why are they ‘invisible’?
2. The ‘Does CME Work?’ question: the in- vitro perspective
3. Does CME work in the real world? - a look at the in-vivo, clinical care gap and its relationship to the world of genetics education
4. So What? Recommendations to a thoughtful genetics audience: guidelines for the use of CME & CPD
An outline: many questions, little time…
Question #1Question #1Some definitions:
•What do we mean by CME & CPD?
•….by the terms diffusion, implementation?
•….how have we changed in our thinking?
•Later….what is knowledge translation/implementation science?
What do we mean by ‘CPD and CME’?
• educational materials
• formal CME: lectures, small groups, courses
• outreach visits
• opinion leaders
• patient-mediated strategies
• audit/feedback
• reminders (paper, computerized,
interactive, etc)
• comprehensive, QI- or practice-based interventions
• web-based tools, PDAs
(borrowed from EPOC, Cochrane Collaboraitve)
Diffusion: distribution of information and the practitioners’ natural unaided adoption of policies and practices
Dissemination: communication of information to clinicians to improve their skills
Implementation: putting a guideline in place, involves effective communication, overcomes barriers by administrative and educational techniques
(after Lomas)...

The Research and Development Resource Base
- educational, clinical & health services literature
• supported by the
American medical Association, the North American CME organizations, Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada, the University of Toronto and the Association of American colleges
Now ~25,000 studies
• 12 metropolitan areas, roughly 30 conditions studied, >6,000 patient records examined
• Substandard care noted in 45% of clinical areas (of this, 46% underuse; 11% overuse)
• Little variation by region or by type of condition (chronic, acute), socioeconomic status
• Notable gaps in care in depression, alcohol abuse, diabetes care (about 45%), pneumonia (39%);
• Better care (>50% compliance with recommendations) noted in hypertension, cardiac care, but just
•NOTE: the inviible care gap (undiagnosed, undetected – e.g., smoking cessation, obesity counseling, care gap is HUGE)

NEW Multiple methods’ effect uncertain; print materials (simple messages) may not be so bad after all; consider the message; and consider the setting
• age
• motivation
• (dis)incentives
• experience
• time
• environment
• training• Emphasis on knowledge• Inability to detect needs,
evaluate performance• ?self-directed learning• ?critical appraisal
The Pathman Model• awareness: of a guideline,
practice innovation, change
• agreement: with the innovation or guideline
• adoption: ‘trying out’ the new practice, irregularly
• adherence: abiding by the new practice on all appropriate occasions Pathman, 1996
2) and about the learner-clinician
The self-assessment question
Davis & co., Davis & co., JAMA JAMA 2006;296:1096-11022006;296:1096-1102
Of 20 comparisons…..
13 demonstrated little, no or an inverse relationship between self and external assessment:• Examples: learning needs, EBM skills, simulated knee
injections• Note: inverse relationships between confidence noted
by Leopold (knee injections), Fox (OSCE misperception) and Parker (knowledge-based FP exam)
7 demonstrated a positive relationship:
• Examples: cultural-linguistic competencies, global performance with dementia patients, comfort with psycho-social issues in family medicine

“Knowledge translation is the effective and timely incorporation of evidence-based information into the practices of health professionals in such a way as to effect optimal health care outcomes and maximize the potential of the health system”
– Adapted from the Canadian Institutes for Health Research definition, 2001
Implementation Science is the scientific study of methods to promote the systematic uptake of research findings and other evidence based practice into routine practice thus to improve the quality and effectiveness of health care and services. ..adapted from the NIH, USA
An emerging field; one concept, two terms

‘‘Consideration of clinician learning style, needs
Recommendation #1:
Guideline Development/adaptation
Consider CME/CPD in any evidence development process: from learner and educational perspectives (for example, guard against knowledge overload, consider already-held knowledge)
a.secure buy-in; involve the end-user in guideline development/adaptation
b.employ adult learning principles in guideline statements (format, spacing, language)
c. consider recommending effective educational strategies in the guideline itself
How an we use CME/CPD in evidence/message/guideline development in genetics?
• compatibility• complexity• cost• relative advantage• accessibility• format• patency of evidence, process of development• opportunity; trial-ability
…….educational issues to consider .educational issues to consider within the guideline, evidence itselfwithin the guideline, evidence itself
• Joint body of the Ontario Medical Association and the Ministry of Health and Long term Care, Ontario
• Chooses a topic area; reviews all guidelines in that area; scores them by the Cluzeau/AGREE instrument
• Mounted them on a website
– Quick, 30 second synopsis– Clear language– Appropriate format– Parallel patient synopsis– The apple-score
One attempt to fix the Message:The Guidelines Advisory Committee, Ontario (now the Center for Evidence-based practice)
Recommendation # 2:
Include CME/CPD in any guideline implementation strategy
a)Consider the learner- mode of current learning- stage of awareness-adherence at which clinician-learners exist
b) Consider effective educational strategies
How an we use CME/CPD in genetics education ?
Formal CMELectures, workshops, small groups
Informal education
Audit/Feedback
Reminders
Policy, CQI administrative techniques
Patient Strategies
Multiple Strategies
M&M conferences
Quality-based rounds
Journal Club
Team training
Handover/off rounds
The CPG implementation toolkit
Recommendation # 3:
Consider CME/CPD in a staged fashion, depending on stage of adoption of information, by individuals, groups; use appropriate educational strategies
How can we use CME/CPD in genetics education?
•Launch, June 2011
•Tools, resources, and support for AAMC members•Collaborative learning sessions•National Faculty Development Initiative•Roughly 250 med schools & teaching hospitals participating
Example #3: a national campaign: a project of the Association of American Medical Colleges
www.aamc.org/bestpractices
• Teach quality and patient safety to the next generation of doctors
• Ensure safer surgery through use of surgical checklists
• Reduce infections from central lines using proven protocols
• Reduce hospital readmissions for high-risk patients
• Research, evaluate, and share new and improved practices.
This list of commitments will grow over time.
Participating medical schools and teaching hospitals have committed to:
• Large and growing body of evidence about the effect of CME/CPD now imbedded in models of change- no longer an invisible (and ineffective) intervention
• Huge clinical care gap, no less so in genetics
• Considerable support for consideration of CME/CPD practices and principles – based on best evidence.
And a few final last words
