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. Physicians need to
participate in both category I and category II educational activities
for a balanced personal educational program.
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). The Timeline provides an overview of the Category I application process.
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.
