CME drives me nuts. Yes, I know it’s the rules, and the whole idea is to make sure we all keep current on our knowledge, but it’s still a pain in the butt.
I try to do mine in the cracks of everyday life. In solo practice, I don’t have time to go to meetings. So I do all mine on paper or online. My usual method is summer vacation. We go on long driving trips. Since my wife prefers to drive, I just hunker down in my seat with a pile of CME monographs and work my way through them bit by bit.
This year, we didn’t go on a trip, so I’m stuck working it in on weekends and evenings.
I’m sure there’s a better way to do this, but I have no clue what it is. So I take my pile of papers and iPad with me wherever I go, reading things and marking off answers.
I understand the idea behind it. No one wants a doctor with a wealth of experience but a paucity of modern knowledge. Medicine is (and always will be) a changing field. No one can keep up on it entirely. So this is how we’re supposed to prove that we’re trying. How well does it work? I have no idea. Apparently no one has found a better way to do it, though.
So I dutifully do my reading and fill in the circles on the answer sheet because I have to.
