Effect of an Educational Intervention on Incorporation of Ignatian Values into Continuing Medical Education at a Jesuit Medical School

Abstract

This is a pre-/post-intervention study: the intervention consisted of written materials and a video which are reviewed during the CME planning process. These tools were incorporated into routine use for programs scheduled to begin after January 1, 2010. An adjudication committee reviewed the learning objectives for each CME-accredited presentation completed during calendar year 2009 and for each presentation scheduled for calendar year 2010. This committee assigned a dichotomous outcome (yes/no) regarding incorporation of Ignatian values in each CME activity.
