类风湿关节炎继续医学教育（CME）计划在六家社区医院实施并进行了评估。它针对初级保健医生，并利用被同行认为对传播内容知识具有教育影响力的医生。尽管住院和门诊医生记录审核显示三个对照社区几乎没有变化，但在三个利用有影响力的医生的干预社区中记录了诊断程序的利用率和患者管理的显着改善。通过基于社区、具有教育影响力的医生提供的继续医学教育是改变先前没有持续教育计划的小社区医生行为的有效方法。这种方法应该改善类风湿关节炎患者的初级保健，并减少学术人员参与传统 CME 项目的需要。
A continuing medical education (CME) program in rheumatoid arthritis was implemented and evaluated in six community hospitals. It was targeted at primary care physicians and utilized physicians identified by their peers as being educationally influential for the dissemination of content knowledge. Although inpatient and outpatient audits of physician records demonstrated little change in three control communities, substantial improvement in the utilization of diagnostic procedures and patient management was documented in the three intervention communities utilizing the influential physicians. CME delivered through community-based educationally influential physicians is an effective way to change physician behavior in small communities with no prior ongoing educational programs. This approach should improve the primary care given to patients with rheumatoid arthritis and reduce the need for participation of academic faculty in traditional CME programs.
