The Josiah Macy Foundation released a report in January on the Chairman's Summary of the Conference: Continuing Education in the Health Professions - Improving Healthcare Through Lifelong Learning http://www.josiahmacyfoundation.org/documents/Macy_ContEd_1_7_08.pdf

Librarians need to be more involved with CME.
One of the report's recommendations sounds like it is right up the librarians' alley:
Promote the discovery and dissemination of
more effective methods of educating health
professionals over their professional lifetimes
and foster the most effective and efficient
ways to improve knowledge, skills, attitudes,
practice and teamwork.
