PY - 2017 T2 - Principles and Practice of Hospital Medicine, 2e AB - Most physicians learn through informal approaches, including reading, point-of-care learning, and consulting colleagues. More formal adult learning occurs mainly through continuing medical education (CME). The approach to physician learning through CME is changing and hospitalists are poised to play a crucial role in its development. Hospitalists are increasingly the primary teachers in the hospital setting and play a major role in performance improvement. Modern CME integrates these two processes. In this chapter, we discuss principles of adult learning, the changing landscape of CME, and the resultant responsibilities and opportunities for hospitalists.
