MANUSCRIPT: Variation in Patient-Sharing Networks of Physicians Across the United States

MANUSCRIPT: Does an offer for a free on-line continuing medical education (CME) activity increase physician survey response rate? A randomized trial

Abstract Background: Achieving a high response rate in a physician survey is challenging. Monetary incentives increase response rates but obviously add cost to a survey project. We wondered whether an offer of a free continuing medical education (CME) activity would be effective in improving survey response rate. Conclusions: An offer for a free on-line

MANUSCRIPT: Automated Assessment of Medical Training Evaluation Text

    Abstract Medical post-graduate residency training and medical student training increasingly utilize electronic systems to evaluate trainee performance based on defined training competencies with quantitative and qualitative data, the later of which typically consists of text comments. Medical education is concomitantly becoming a growing area of clinical research. While electronic systems have proliferated in number,

MANUSCRIPT: Knowledge Retention after an Online Tutorial: A Randomized Educational Experiment among Resident Physicians

BACKGROUND: The time course of physicians’ knowledge retention after learning activities has not been well characterized. Understanding the time course of retention is critical to optimizing the reinforcement of knowledge. DESIGN: Educational follow-up experiment with knowledge retention measured at 1 of 6 randomly assigned time intervals (0–55 days) after an online tutorial covering 2 American Diabetes Association guidelines. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2517967/pdf/11606_2008_Article_604.pdf

MANUSCRIPT: Adapting Web-based Instruction to Residents’ Knowledge Improves Learning Efficiency A Randomized Controlled Trial

BACKGROUND: Increased clinical demands and decreased available time accentuate the need for efficient learning in postgraduate medical training. Adapting Web-based learning (WBL) to learners’ prior knowledge may improve efficiency. OBJECTIVE: We hypothesized that time spent learning would be shorter and test scores not adversely affected for residents who used a WBL intervention that adapted to prior knowledge. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2517946/pdf/11606_2008_Article_541.pdf

MANUSCRIPT: Web-based learning strategies in combination with published guidelines to change practice of primary care professionals

ABSTRACT Background Published clinical guidelines need to be combined with effective educational interventions to produce change in practice. Problem-based learning (PBL) groups are effective; however, research studies have not looked at change in practice following PBL that is independent of group interaction. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2629824/pdf/bjgp59-104.pdf

MANUSCRIPT: General Practitioners’ preferences and use of educational media: a German perspective

Abstract Background: Several studies suggest that General Practitioners (GPs) prefer "traditional" media such as journals or quality circles when they are seeking out different options to meet their continuing medical education (CME) requirements. A survey was designed in order to gain a better understanding of German General Practitioners' preferences for different forms of educational media

MANUSCRIPT: Impact of a Multifaceted Intervention on Cholesterol Management in Primary Care Practices: Guideline Adherence for Heart Health Randomized Trial

Abstract Background—Physician adherence to National Cholesterol Education Program clinical practice guidelines has been poor. Methods—We recruited 68 primary care family and internal medicine practices; 66 were randomly allocated to a study arm; 5 practices withdrew, resulting in 29 receiving the Third Adult Treatment Panel (ATP III) intervention and 32 receiving an alternative intervention focused on

MANUSCRIPT: The effectiveness of web-based and face-to-face continuing education methods on nurses’ knowledge about AIDS: a comparative study

Abstract Background: Information about web-based education outcomes in comparison with a face-to-face format can help researchers and tutors prepare and deliver future web-based or face-to-face courses more efficiently. The aim of this study was to compare the effectiveness of web-based and face-to-face continuing education methods in improving nurses' knowledge about AIDS. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2717067/pdf/1472-6920-9-41.pdf

MANUSCRIPT: Using email reminders to engage physicians in an Internet-based CME intervention

Abstract Background: Engaging practicing physicians in educational strategies that reinforce guideline adoption and improve the quality of healthcare may be difficult. Push technologies such as email offer new opportunities to engage physicians in online educational reinforcing strategies. The objectives are to investigate 1) the effectiveness of email announcements in engaging recruited community-based primary care
