The Beginning of CME and Its Relationship to CPD
Published in Robin Stevenson, Learning and Behaviour in Medicine, 2022
At the same time in the United Kingdom (UK), the whole concept of traditional, didactic CME was challenged as being too restrictive and only concerned with the competencies of clinical practice. Physicians were thought to need skills encompassing not just clinical practice but also personal appraisals, coping strategies, management, inter-professional relationships, clinical audit, information technology and communication abilities. This all-embracing prospectus was to be called Continuing Professional Development (CPD), of which CME was to be an important part [3]. Davis and colleagues in 2003 went further and suggested using the term CPD exclusively and discarding CME because of its connotation with lectures in darkened rooms [4].

A surgeon is defined by the time that he or she spends in the operating theatre; a physician, by the time he or she spends on the ward round with his or her entourage; and a researcher, by the time spent in the laboratory. General practitioners (GPs) are defined by the time they spend with their patient in the consultation.

If you thought that you would be done with exams at university, think again! The training programmes are regulated by ‘Colleges’, such as the Royal Colleges of Physicians, Surgeons, and Obstetricians and Gynaecologists. In addition to the core competencies that need to be demonstrated on the job, these Colleges also set exams for postgraduate diplomas, which must be passed in order to be awarded membership of the College. To be a physician, for instance, you need to be a Member of the Royal College of Physicians (MRCP). These exams are expensive and difficult, with many doctors needing to repeat them before they pass.

In the literature, this situation has been conceptualized as corporate reputation and individual reputation [21]. In this study, the equivalents of the concepts in the health sector are hospital reputation and doctor reputation. Doctor reputation reflects individuals’ past actions, similar to hospital reputation. In short, doctor reputation can be defined as the perceptions and evaluations of patients about a person over time. Physicians provide healthcare services that patients receive from hospitals. In this case, since physicians are the most important actors of service quality in healthcare services, a doctor's reputation may be an important factor in patients’ choices. However, doctors can provide their services through different hospitals and practice centres. Therefore, patients’ perceptions of service quality can be affected by the service environment, that is, the organizational reputation of the hospital, in addition to a doctor's reputation.

HCPs were defined as persons employed in healthcare facilities with or without direct contact with patients or infectious materials and regardless of their employment status (permanent, casual, or contract HCP). HCP was grouped as follows: physicians, nursing personnel (nurses, midwives, and nurse assistants), paramedical personnel (pharmacists, biologists, laboratory technicians, physiotherapists, ambulance personnel, social workers, health visitors), supportive personnel (information systems personnel, engineers, waiters, cleaners, laundry personnel, security personnel), and administrative personnel. Physicians were further grouped according to their specialty/subspecialty as follows: internal medicine specialists (e.g. internists, pediatricians, infectious diseases specialists, intensive care physicians, gastroenterologists, neurologists), surgical specialists (e.g. surgeons, obstetricians, urologists, ophthalmologists, orthopedics, neurosurgeons), laboratory physicians (e.g. microbiologists, immunologists, cytologists, anatomists), and imaging specialists (radiologists, nuclear medicine specialists).

Multiple participants indicated that they, or others, lacked sufficient knowledge to recognize and thus register ADRs. It was discussed that identifying ADRs is challenging as its clear association with medication use is not always seen. As a result, ADRs were not registered when participants were not entirely sure about their causality. Especially previous unknown ADRs were often not recognized by healthcare professionals: It would be easy if a patient would take medication and an hour later, there is a reaction. However, it is often not that easy and there are many possible causes for that reaction. Most of the time, there is a lack of doing the right checks to confirm that your prescribed medication causes it. That makes registering sometimes difficult. (Hospital pharmacist)The decision is often based on knowledge about ADRs. So if something happens, and I know it is a well-known ADR associated with the current medication, the chance of identifying it as an ADR is more likely. When it is something unexpected and I do not associate with the medication at all, the chance that I will recognize it as an ADR and register it is very small. (Specialist physician)
