ATTENTION
Changes in CME at SMH
Over the last 10 years, the medical community’s approach to ongoing education has experienced dramatic change. On-line offerings allow each of us to learn at teachable moments, when a particular patient problem prompts a search for new information. We can also learn at a point of time most convenient: if you have time on your hands, CME is only a few clicks away.
Lately the push from our accrediting body, the FMA, is to have fewer, higher quality programs. We are also asked to show the relevance of our programs to practice improvement. The CME budget has also come under pressure, with significant resources needed to support the on-line education mission.
Due to these ongoing forces, the Medical Education Committee met and has decided to reduce the frequency of the Grand Rounds series to once monthly for July, August and September, and to reassess the frequency thereafter. A coming communication will provide additional details on the dates of presentations, and other education opportunities available within the system.
I encourage you all to give us feedback on what you want to see happen in October. We plan to work diligently for high quality programs for the slots available.
Bruce Robinson MD MPH
For the Medical Education Committee, Sarasota Memorial Hospital

Consistent with our commitments to education and excellence at Sarasota Memorial Hospital, the organization has partnered with the Graduate Education Foundation in offering our healthcare providers access to the CMElectures.org series of educational seminars. We anticipate that you will find the lectures interesting, informative and clinically useful.

Electronic Education Documentation System
Internet Point of Care CME (POC) describes structured, self-directed, online learning by physicians on topics relevant to their clinical practice. Learning for this activity is driven by a reflective process in which physicians must document their clinical question, the sources consulted and the application to practice. Physicians conducting structured online searches on clinical topics may claim a half (0.5) AMA PRA Category 1 Credit for documented completion.
