A commonsense approach to CME organization.
One of the functions of community hospitals is to provide continuing medical education programs for their staff physicians. Variety of purpose, medical staff characteristics, limited funds, and decentralized decision making are all factors that should be taken into consideration as a hospital organizes a CME program. In turn, it is helpful to consider these factors in light of certain principles of organization, such as avoiding duplication and overlap of functions, fixing responsibility and authority, and establishing uniform methods and procedures where appropriate.
