SACME Virtual Journal Club May 2025

Session Overview

Join us for this important session, the first in a new series focused on the seminal publications in continuing medical education (CME) and continuing professional development (CPD) over the last 50 years, as part of the celebration of the 50 years of SACME.  We will have an opportunity to revisit important literature and hold conversations with scholars who have made major contributions to our field.

We are delighted to host Dr. Don Moore who will lead this first session focusing on publications from the 1970s that contributed to the scholarship of the emerging profession of CME. Seminal publications are usually measured by the number of citations they receive in addition to other criteria.  Dr. Moore will describe the criteria and identify publications from the 1970s that meet those criteria.  Publications include journal articles, books and book chapters primarily, as well as occasional government and professional organization reports. To show how a seminal article impacts a field, he will analyze Brown and Uhl’s “Mandatory Continuing Education: Sense or Nonsense?” from 1972. 

A copy of the article will be provided to all registrants.

As always, we welcome your thoughts and perspectives and hope to see you engaged in our VJC.
