Don Moore, PhD, professor of medical education and administration, director of evaluation in the Office of Undergraduate Medical Education, and director of the Office for Continuous Professional Development presented at two conferences in Europe this summer.
In June, he was program director for the Global Alliance for Medical Education Annual Meeting in Barcelona, Spain. He collaborated with Jereon van Merrienboer of Maastricht University to offer a day-and-a-half long workshop entitled The Next Level: The Necessary Interaction of Outcomes, Instructional Design, and Assessment. Participants in the workshop used a combination of van Merrienboer’s recent publication “Ten Steps to Complex Learning: A Systematic Approach to Four Component Instructional Design” and Moore’s article “Achieving desired results and improved outcomes Integrating planning and assessment throughout learning activities” to work through a CME/CPD program development problem.
In August, Don was involved in presenting two workshops at the Association for Medical Education in Europe Annual Meeting in Prague, Czech Republic. The first workshop was “Continuing Professional Development: Linking Education and Performance Improvement” in which participants had the opportunity to work through a CPD problem using performance data. The second workshop was “Complex Learning and CPD: Linking Instructional Design to Outcomes.” Again, participants were provided a CPD problem and were asked to use what they learned to address the problem, which in this case was helping physicians to learn how to use shared decision-making with patients who had hard to manage type 2 diabetes. He collaborated with Maureen Doyle-Scharff of Pfizer and Jann Balmer of the University of Virginia on these two workshops.
