Continuing
Medical Education
To enhance health care
delivery, Wright State University Boonshoft School of Medicine supports the
development of continuing medical education (CME) programming for physicians. CME consists of educational
activities which serve to maintain, develop, or increase the knowledge, skills,
and professional performance and relationships that a physician uses to provide
services for patients, the public or the profession. Physicians need to participate in
both category I and category II educational activities for a balanced personal
educational program.
CME activities must not promote recommendations, treatment or manners
of practicing medicine that are known to have risks or dangers that outweigh
the benefits, or are known to be ineffective in the treatment of patients. Note
that an organization whose program of CME is devoted to advocacy of
unscientific modalities of diagnosis or therapy is not eligible to apply for ACCME accreditation. As of August 1, 2009, the Wright State University CME program will not be accepting joint sponsored activity applications.
Category
I — Category I
activities serve to maintain, develop, or increase the knowledge, skills,
professional performance and relationships a physician uses to provide services
for patients, the public or the profession. They are formally organized and
planned educational meetings that cover specific subject areas that are
scientifically valid and appropriate in depth and scope for the intended
physician audience (e.g., conferences, grand rounds, symposia, seminars,
departmental scientific meetings). See the Activity Calendar for a list of upcoming CME offerings.
Category
II — Activities not
designated Category I (e.g., reading authoritative medical literature,
consultation with peers and medical experts, developing and reviewing quality
assessment data, use of electronic data bases in patient care, small-group
discussions, self-assessment activities, teaching health professionals medical
writing teleconferences) are designated as Category II.
