Educational Detail

The professional practice gap is the difference between the practice that actually occurs and what the ideal practice should be. In other words, what is the problem or issue in practice that needs to be addressed? For any topic proposed, how does that topic relate to a problem in practice? (Only one is required)

The objectives should directly state the desired outcomes of the activity in terms of improved knowledge, competence, performance and/or patient outcomes. The objectives should reflect the ultimate goal of CME, that is to improve the delivery of patient care.
