title: Where to look when assessing CME needs.
abstract: Although more and more hospitals are providing accredited continuing medical education (CME) programs, there is little information to aid the individual physician and the hospital-based CME planner in assessing current educational needs. A basic framework along with readily available data sources are provided for conducting needs assessment studies at a community hospital level.
