One important aspect of value has received little attention - whether educational resources are used as efficiently as possible to achieve meaningful outcomes. This paper builds on a recent systematic review of the literature which found that only a small fraction of the CME professional literature measures or even mentions costs or concepts related to cost-effectiveness. This paper offers insights into how the field has been hesitant to explore cost-effectiveness, including realistic challenges related to data access and analysis, complexity, and perceived misalignment with the educational mission. This paper also highlights real opportunities and practical steps to consider cost-effectiveness in CE/CME in a way that mitigates risk while maximising learning. By looking at cost alongside traditional educational outcomes, providers may better demonstrate the full value of our work. Evaluating cost-effectiveness is not about turning education into a financial exercise. It is about showing that the precious resources available to CE/CME are allocated as wisely as possible to improve patient care. This perspective can help CME providers take a proactive leadership role in demonstrating an entirely new dimension of educational value in an environment increasingly focused on value.</p>","PeriodicalId":73675,"journal":{"name":"Journal of CME","volume":"14 1","pages":"2565919"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-09-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12477767/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145202207","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Despite the possible benefits of A&H-based education for practicing physicians, and the increasing demand for medical education faculty to provide such content to their learners, A&H programming in continuing medical education (CME) remains limited, and less is known about the feasibility, acceptability, and potential impacts of such interventions in CME. This study describes physicians' perceptions of the value and impact of an art-based CME intervention. Four stand-alone CME sessions using pedagogy from the visual arts were conducted over Zoom. A mixed-methods approach (post-session surveys, thematic analysis of focus groups) was applied to assess perceptions of relevance and role of arts in CME, and potential mechanisms for impact. Sixty physicians (North America, Europe, and Asia) registered for at least one session. 100% of survey respondents (<i>n</i> = 35) supported continued integration of arts-based approaches in CME. Over 90% found it relevant to their clinical practice, their roles as educators and their well-being. Participants highlighted how unique aspects of arts-based education facilitated positive impacts on clinical skills, openness to new perspectives and renewal and joy, but noted its \"nontraditional\" aspects as potential barriers. This study suggests that, while unfamiliarity and scepticism may inhibit use of A&H in CME, physicians may view arts-based CME as a unique way to enhance clinical skills and critical thinking while supporting well-being and a growth mindset amongst established educators.</p>","PeriodicalId":73675,"journal":{"name":"Journal of CME","volume":"14 1","pages":"2560265"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-09-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12477774/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145202251","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Despite perception of low current levels of integration by 85.3% of respondents, the overall importance of incorporating the patient perspective in surgical education was rated high (average 3.57/5). Suggestions for improvement included partnerships with advocacy groups, use of patient stories, and involving patients in curriculum development.

This study developed and validated a diversity measurement instrument, designed to look at representation in the areas of gender, religion, age, disability, ethnicity/race, sexuality, and socio-economic status. Early prototypes were sent to experts for validity testing and using their feedback, improvements and iterations were made to the instrument until the final instrument was agreed: the GRADES10©. The instrument was then applied to a variety of medical education resources to test for rater-reliability. An accompanying user guide was developed to support users with the application of the GRADES10© in practice. Face validity was conducted by 10 experts on several iterations of the instrument from the early prototype (GRADESs7), until the final agreed GRADES10©. Rater-reliability was calculated by intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) and Cronbach's Alpha measure of internal consistency. The GRADES10© instrument was shown to have an ICC of 0.83% (SD 0.725-0.907) <i>p</i>= < .0001, and Cronbach's Alpha of 0.97. Overall, this study has shown that the validated GRADES10© instrument is able to measure diversity in medical teaching resources reliably.

This relates in particular to change in higher levels of outcomes, such as performance, patient health, and/or community health. This sets narrow limits to the design of an objective, reliable and reasonably valid assessment of change in evaluating the effectiveness of a single CE activity. Although CE may be more effective in leading to consistent behaviour in homogeneous groups with regard to background and motivation, trying to reduce the various levels of heterogeneity would be an unrealistic, and also unwanted, approach. Thus, we still have to trust physicians (and other healthcare professionals) to exercise their professionalism in pursuit of individual opinion forming trajectories in the best interests of their patients. However, providers may also choose some more targeted approaches to influence the mindset even in heterogeneous learner groups: - integrating not only knowledge and competence but also current performance gaps into pre-/post-tests - increasing opportunities for discussion will allow optimal matching of the individual needs of participants with the CE content. When reported, unprecedented numbers of participants' questions (>50 per webinar) have been processed during and/or after an e-learning activity, and even higher numbers of interactions might be expected in demand use of e-learning material. Thus, e-learning in combination with long-term faculty engagement has promising potential for sustainable competence.</p>","PeriodicalId":73675,"journal":{"name":"Journal of CME","volume":"14 1","pages":"2498292"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-05-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12077434/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144082643","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
