Practice-linked continuing medical education.
Continuing medical education is successful when it results in improved outcomes for patients, but there may not be much connection between traditional didactic instruction and improvement in clinical practice. Greater emphasis could be placed on self-directed learning. Using computer technology, doctors can audit their own practices to detect specific deficiencies and reveal individual educational needs. Learning and assessment can then be linked with improvements in practice.
