Definition and importance of continuous education(Russian version edited by Z.Z. Balkizov)

Abstract

Such concepts as evidence based practice and system ensuring clinical practice standards are becoming part of a practicing physician’s life. There emerged (and in many countries they are coming to the forefront in medical education) such concepts as certification, recertification, independent evaluation and qualification confirmation. Are these concepts alien to standard practice reality? Must a clinician study all his life to be able to work as a general practitioner? Does continuous education start after graduation from a university? In order to answer all these questions in the paper we will follow the history of continuous education development and issues pertaining to its use in every day practice.

AMEE Guide No 35: Continuing medical education (Russian version edited by Z.Z. Balkizov)

Abstract
This guide is designed to provide a foundation for developing effective continuing medical education (CME) for practicing physicians. For the purposes of this work, continuing medical education is defined as any activity which serves 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 (American Medical Association, 2007; Accreditation Council for CME, 2007). The term continuing professional development (CPD) is broader and has become more popular in many areas of the world. As defined by Stanton and Grant, CPD includes educational methods beyond the didactic, embodies concepts of self-directed learning and personal development and considers organizational and systemic factors (Stanton & Grant, 1997). In fact, this guide describes many modalities that may be defined as CME or CPD. In the interest of simplicity, we will use the term continuing medical education (CME) throughout, with the understanding that the same strategies may be applied to nonclinical continuing professional education. For those who do not work exclusively in CME, many terms and processes may be unfamiliar. This guide is intended to provide a broad overview of the discipline of CME as well as a pragmatic approach to the practice of CME. The format provides an overview of CME including history and rationale for the discipline, followed by a practical approach to developing CME activities, the management of the overall CME-programme and finally, future trends. At the end of the guide you will find resources including readings, websites and professional associations to assist in the development and management of CMEprogrammes.
