MISSION STATEMENT

The USCSOM-PH CME Organization is committed to developing,
implementing, managing and evaluating high quality continuing
medical education activities to enhance physicians' competence
and performance in the ACGME/ABMS general competency areas;

Target Audience:
The USCSOM-PH CME activities are available to physicians,
medical educators and clinical researchers at the local, regional
and national levels. The development of these activities is
based primarily on the particular educational needs of the
faculty and practitioners at the USCSOM, PH and other affiliated
hospitals or clinics. The participation of community and health-related
state agency physicians as well as non-physician health care
professionals associated with the USCSOM, PH and other affiliated
hospitals or clinics is also encouraged, when appropriate.

| Type
of Activities Provided: The CME office will sponsor activities
that include, but are not limited to, symposia, conferences,
seminars, regularly scheduled series, workshops and performance
improvement. The educational design and methods for CME activities
are selected based on the identified needs, the content to be
addressed and the expected results of the activity. |
| Content:
The CME Program will determine the content of its activities
based on the learner gaps of our physician audience in meeting:
regulatory and institutional requirements, and the ACGME/ABMS
general competencies which include patient care, medical knowledge,
professionalism, communication skills, practice-based improvement,
and systems-based practice. Content includes, but is not limited
to, 1) the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of disease,
2) efficient and cost-effective health care-delivery, 3) medical
ethics, 4) clinical research, and 5) professionalism for all
clinical specialties. CME content will meet the standards of
scientific integrity and will be free of commercial interest
influence or control. |
