Improving Continuing Education for Family Physicians: The Role of the American Board of Family Medicine

[摘要] Continuing medical education (CME) is ground zero for improvement of health care. Although the last decade has seen great innovation in health professions education,1–3 only a small percentage of physicians are enrolled in any given time in formal, structured medical education.4 If care is going to improve, if innovation is going to spread, and if America wants changes in health care to occur more rapidly than the 30 years it takes to replace generations of health professionals, change must spread through a comprehensive and meaningful approach to lifelong learning. Therefore, as a specialty and as a profession, we must attend closely to the vitality and evolution of continuing medical education.
