  • Title: The continued evolution of the credit system.
    Author: Aparicio A, Willis CE.
    Journal: J Contin Educ Health Prof; 2005; 25(3):190-6. PubMed ID: 16173053.
    Abstract:
    In its ongoing support of continuous physician professional development, the American Medical Association (AMA) for use in the AMA Physician's Recognition Award has adopted 2 new learning platforms: Performance Improvement (PI) and Internet Point of Care (PoC). This article highlights the process that led to their adoption and places these new forms of continuing and physician professional development in the framework of existing continuing medical education (CME). The article calls for new research that revisits existing data on physician learning and prepares to incorporate provider experience with "practice situated" forms of CME. The Conjoint Committee on CME may serve as an important contributor to this process by enabling valuable dialogue among stakeholder organizations.
