In Criterion 2, what is meant by "professional practice gap?"
With respect to Criterion 2, must educational need for each activity be grounded in actual data that has been collected and analyzed?
Criteria 1 and 3 refer to "changes in competence, performance, or patient outcomes" but Criterion 2 refers to educational need in terms of "knowledge, competence, or performance." Can CME providers offer activities that are designed to change knowledge?
Can I base my activities on non-clinical problems in my learners' practices, such as their needs related to their work in research, administration or teaching?
