Mission Statement
To Improve Practice Through Continued Education
The Office of Continuing Medical Education of the West Virginia University School of Medicine plans to pursue this mission by offering Continuing Medical Education (CME) activities to physicians and other health care providers in West Virginia and the surrounding region. The purpose of these educational activities is to assist providers in maintaining and enhancing their clinical competence to promote high quality health care. These endeavors will keep with the WVU Medicine vision of creating educational programs throughout the network recognized for training uniquely qualified healthcare team members and leaders.
The expectation is that our educational activities will change learner competence and/or performance in practice and ultimately, lead to enhanced patient care and improved outcomes.
Results will be measured by the following learner indicators:
- Report greater confidence in ability to accomplish the objectives of each program
- Report an intent to change practice or behavior as a result of the educational intervention
- Report an increase in confidence in current ability
- Demonstrate ability to apply new knowledge
- Show improvement or positive impact on specific performance measures and/or patient outcomes through quality and patient safety metrics.
