A 16 page paper providing an overview of the current state of continuing education for physicians. Not only medicine has changed in today’s world, however, so has all of education. Continuing medical education (CME) holds promise today that never existed in the past. The paper discusses characteristics of adult learners; new approaches to interactive learning; patient outcome; changes in physician behavior resulting from CME; and implications of commercial (i.e., pharmaceutical company) involvement. The paper also includes proposed changes in accreditation of commercially-supported programs current in 2003. Bibliography lists 19 sources.

One past professor of horticulture is noted for his stock statement, "Read, read, read ... but no one ever does." If simple nurserymen were too pressed for time
