MANUSCRIPT: Selecting educational interventions for knowledge translation

Key points
• The effectiveness of large-group sessions in continuing medical education can be enhanced by using rigorous
needs assessments and increasing interactivity and engagement in the learning process.
• Other interventions that show promise include small-group learning, communities of practice and distance-based education.
• Self-directed learning may be enhanced by the addition of portfolio-based learning and self-assessment exercises.
