I have enjoyed reviewing psychiatric presentations in a wide variety of areas. The topics are highly relevant to the practice of psychiatry. I feel I am participating in the education of other physicians by assessing the integrity and potential biases of the presentations.
Providing peer reviews of CME content is valuable in many ways. I believe the most important contribution of this process is ensuring that the content meets the stated objectives without commercial bias. I believe that providing this feedback ultimately benefits the end user by producing content that is of higher quality.
Over the last 4 years I have had the opportunity to work alongside a wonderful group of people who put education at the forefront. CME Peer Review is a first class organization that is organized, efficient, and professional. The work they do is incredibly important for physicians and patients alike.
CME Peer Review: independent, knowledgeable, ethical.
The reviewers solicited to work with CME Peer Review are carefully selected for their abilities to understand and analyze well their areas of interest. They review in various modalities: on-site conferences, video/teleconferences, etc. They are anonymous when involved in the review process. The end user knows that the finished review will be in-depth, insightful, unbiased, and honest. The reviewers themselves feel a real sense of contributing to the improvement of the individual/group that they are evaluating. They also know that they are enhancing a well calibrated, well-conceived process when they are asked by CME Peer Review to participate.
The value of auditing/monitoring, on-site especially, is fulfilling for the reviewer who is exposed to the course learning, as is the rest of the course audience, but the reviewer also can get a real sense of how the audience feels about each presentation. So, the final review is not only the reviewer's own critique, but it contains a true sense of what the audience thinks of the speaker/course. From a reviewer's perspective, the pre-involvement instruction that CME Peer Review gives its reviewers, and the opportunity to review "live," makes CME Peer Review unique and exceptional.
