About the CME Section
Now several decades old, the Group on Educational Affairs (GEA)
comprises several thousand faculty members in the United States
and Canada who are engaged in educational scholarship—improving
their teaching and program planning, providing resident supervision,
and studying the effects of educational programming on learners,
among many other activities. A large group, its activities are divided
by region, and by section.
The most recent of these to be formed, the CME Section of the GEA
represents those faculty members who are engaged in:
- Teaching practicing health professionals
- Planning and evaluating programs
- Developing and studying innovations which extend beyond formal
short courses to interventions characterized as "translational"
- Scholarship, extending beyond educational research to include
population health, outcomes and health services research.
Increasingly, our members demonstrate commitment to quality and
performance improvement activities and faculty development.
About Continuing Education and Performance Improvement
The AAMC's Continuing Education
and Performance Improvement (CE/PI) site is intended for those
who plan and participate in continuing education and improvement
programs. It attempts to guide Continuing Medical Education as it
moves from a primarily conference-based model to one which employs
best educational methods and Quality Improvement and Performance
Improvement principles to close the clinical care gap.
The site includes links to resources, meetings, publications, quality
measures and other means to plan and evaluate programming. Learn
about non-commercial financial support for CE/PI programming, and
much more.
