"CME is...the rare industry where a significant gulf exists between... demand and the product developed to support that demand." [Armstrong. Acad Med, 2005]
At The BioContinuum Group we address the problems that you face by bridging the gulf identified in the quote above. These problems are far-reaching and can greatly impact what you do, most importantly your ability to transfer meaningful information to physician learners.
"Adult learning theory has become the standard by which continuing medical education is measured and appraised." [Cantillon. BMJ, 1999]
After 15 years producing well-received medical education activities, and in response to advances in the understanding of how doctors learn, we've revised our approach to teaching doctors and developed a spectrum of new activities to better educate practicing physicians. More specifically, we're applying accepted theory of adult learning, emerging findings on medical professionalism, and models of learning in clinical practice to design, implement, and evaluate instruction that measurably changes how physicians practice and promises to improve patient outcomes. The BioContinuum Group's process for educational design incorporates research on: (1) how adults learn, generally; (2) how doctors learn in clinical practice, specifically; and (3) how to overcome the constraints on learning that exist within the day-to-day practice of medicine.
