Effectiveness of Continuing Medical Education: A Review of the Evidence.
Lloyd, John S.; Abrahamson, Stephen
Evaluation and the Health Professions, v2 n3 p251-80 Sep 1979

Although half the studies published since l960 reported some improvement following CME, methodological shortcomings prevent concluding that the improvements were caused by CME. (Author/MH)
