Abstract

Objectives: To assess the evolution of continuing medical education/continuous professional development (CME/CPD) in European Radiology with a particular focus on on-site (live educational events, LEE) vs remote (electronic learning materials, ELM) participation and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Methods: Results related to CME/CPD of surveys conducted by the Accreditation Council of Imaging (ACI) between 2017 and 2020 are summarized. Additional insights from the survey conducted in spring 2023, exploring online education trends since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, are presented. Finally, the results of the surveys are correlated with the total number of CME/CPD applications received annually from 2018 to 2022.

Results: Pre-pandemic, 90% of European radiologists supported mandatory CME and unified CME/CPD-system. A trend among younger radiologists towards ELM was observed. Only 20% of employers fully endorsed CME/CPD. In 2020, LEE attendance dropped significantly (95.5-33%), with a simultaneous surge (33-58%) in time spent on ELM. Post-pandemic, the majority (52%) of LEE attendees participated in 1-5 events, whereas the majority (38%) of attendees of live-streamed events participated in 6-20 meetings. Content remains a priority of respondents in all formats: 79% for online, 75% for on-site, and 74% for on-demand. While the assessed quality of LEE remained at the same level (no change (36%) or good/very good (48%)), a considerably higher percentage of respondents noticed the quality of live-streamed events was good/very good (83%).

Conclusion: The majority of European radiologists support mandatory CME and a unified CME/CPD system. Despite the post-pandemic resurgence in LEE, ELM and hybrid events are predicted to gain further prominence.

Critical relevance statement: The CME/CPD system dynamically adapts to evolving professional, technical, and environmental circumstances, with human interaction gaining heightened significance post-COVID-19.

Key points: Professionals expressed a desire to return to on-site participation, highlighting its desirability for social interaction. Electronic learning materials are poised for continued growth, particularly among younger generations. Professionals expressed a desire towards a unified CME/CPD system in Europe.

放射学继续医学教育的演变：现场与远程。

目标：评估欧洲放射学继续医学教育/持续职业发展（CME/CPD）的演变情况，尤其关注现场（现场教育活动，LEE）与远程（电子学习材料，ELM）参与情况以及 COVID-19 大流行的影响：方法：总结了成像认证委员会（ACI）在 2017 年至 2020 年期间开展的 CME/CPD 相关调查结果。此外，还介绍了 2023 年春季开展的调查所获得的其他见解，该调查探讨了自 COVID-19 大流行开始以来的在线教育趋势。最后，将调查结果与2018年至2022年每年收到的继续医学教育/继续医学教育申请总数进行了关联：结果：大流行前，90% 的欧洲放射科医师支持强制性继续医学教育和统一的继续医学教育/继续职业发展（CME/CPD）系统。在年轻的放射科医生中观察到了倾向于ELM的趋势。只有 20% 的雇主完全支持继续医学教育/继续职业发展。2020 年，LEE 出勤率大幅下降（95.5%-33%），同时用于 ELM 的时间激增（33%-58%）。大流行后，大多数（52%）LEE 参加者参加了 1-5 次活动，而大多数（38%）直播活动参加者参加了 6-20 次会议。内容仍然是所有形式的受访者优先考虑的问题：79%的受访者重视在线会议，75%的受访者重视现场会议，74%的受访者重视点播会议。虽然对LEE质量的评估保持在同一水平（无变化（36%）或好/非常好（48%）），但注意到直播活动质量好/非常好的受访者比例要高得多（83%）：结论：大多数欧洲放射科医生支持强制性继续医学教育和统一的继续医学教育/继续职业发展（CME/CPD）系统。结论：大多数欧洲放射科医生支持强制性继续医学教育和统一的继续医学教育/继续职业发展制度。尽管LEE在大流行后重新兴起，但预计ELM和混合活动将进一步得到重视：继续医学教育/继续职业发展（CME/CPD）系统动态地适应不断变化的专业、技术和环境情况，人与人之间的互动在 COVID-19 之后变得更加重要：要点：专业人员表示希望回到现场参与，这突出表明了现场参与对于社交互动的可取性。电子学习材料有望继续增长，尤其是在年轻一代中。专业人士表示希望在欧洲建立统一的继续医学教育/继续职业发展（CME/CPD）系统。

期刊介绍： Insights into Imaging (I³) is a peer-reviewed open access journal published under the brand SpringerOpen. All content published in the journal is freely available online to anyone, anywhere! I³ continuously updates scientific knowledge and progress in best-practice standards in radiology through the publication of original articles and state-of-the-art reviews and opinions, along with recommendations and statements from the leading radiological societies in Europe. Founded by the European Society of Radiology (ESR), I³ creates a platform for educational material, guidelines and recommendations, and a forum for topics of controversy. A balanced combination of review articles, original papers, short communications from European radiological congresses and information on society matters makes I³ an indispensable source for current information in this field. I³ is owned by the ESR, however authors retain copyright to their article according to the Creative Commons Attribution License (see Copyright and License Agreement).
