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.
CME Peer Review provides an invaluable service to the medical community in ensuring the accuracy and integrity of educational activities. It allows the end user to be confident that the presentation they are exposed to is free of commercial bias and meets the highest standards. My experience with your team has been extremely productive and has provided me with invaluable training regarding the evaluation of CME activities.
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.
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.
