This concise, practical guide supports a broadly based understanding of continuing medical education and professional development, without being overly theoretical. Opening with the history of CME and CPD, their definitions and the difference between them, this book discusses recent changes in the culture of learning in medicine, including the transition of CME from didactic teaching to interactive, focused adult learning. It describes the replacement of a curricular approach by education driven by need, which, in turn, is defined by discovery and analysis of professional practice gaps. Particular emphasis is placed on the misdiagnosis gap, its causation and impact on patient care.
