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.
Educational presentations require objectivity and balance and freedom from commercial bias to truly benefit the busy practitioner. CME Peer Review provides a valuable service by helping to assure these requirements are met. Its use of independent and knowledgeable physician reviewers allows for a serious in-depth evaluation of CME offerings. My experience with CME Peer Review has been very positive.
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.
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.
