The impact of two educational techniques on physician knowledge, performance and patient care.
Few studies have examined change in physician performance as a result of participation in CME. In addition, there is no evidence in the literature that traditional didactic instruction is the most effective way to deliver CME. The purpose of our study was to compare two educational processes by which information is conferred (traditional didactic lecture and case study format) to determine their impact on physician cognitive knowledge, performance, and patient care.
