We are excited to invite project proposals to improve the delivery of relevant and effective Continuing Medical Education enhancing the professional development of physicians and the interprofessional teams in which they work. A broad range of proposals are invited, but preference will be given to projects that target the following:

  • Improved Delivery or Access to CME - for example, unique methods to increase collaborative learning (shared grand rounds with novel IT support), educational activities with affiliated or community physicians
  • Clinical Relevance - for example, education targeted to improve quality care or to address patient safety concerns or public health priorities. Activities focused on helping physicians achieve recent medical licensing requirements; medical ethics, pain or symptom control, and human trafficking
  • Educational Effectiveness - for example, projects which explore new methods to measure the educational impact on patient care
  • Encouraging Interprofessional Learning and Team Training - for example, developing activities that encourage collaborative team training in medical simulation
  • Clinical Skill Enhancement - projects that improve technical and/or procedural skills, including observed evaluation and formative feedback to the learner
  • Involvement of Physicians in Training in Educational Planning
