PHYSICIAN EDUCATION
In keeping with the medical model, the Assessment has its greatest
value when it is accompanied by the Physician Education Intervention. This
innovative program utilizes a personalized approach to physician
behavioral change and provides a level of interaction and individualized
attention that distinguishes it from traditional approaches to remediation.
The Physician Education Intervention is designed and implemented by a CPEP Associate
Medical Director for Education and the CPEP staff in consultation
with the participant. Every effort is made to use educational resources
within the physician’s home state, enabling her or him to continue
normal clinical practice activities while participating in the intervention.
The national and regional network of educational resources that
CPEP has established over the past decade significantly enhances
this capability.
Physician Education
Plan Development
Based on the educational needs of the physician as identified by
the in-depth Assessment, a written education plan is developed to
define specific objectives, activities, time frames, and evaluation
methods. The physician education plan varies in duration as well as breadth
of activities and follows the Education Intervention’s overall
model of community-based education.
Physician Educational Activities
A preceptor is identified and selected within the participant’s
area to provide one-on-one educational guidance and support. Preceptor
activities allow the participant to work directly with a peer to
improve clinical performance, documentation, office practices, and
interpersonal skills. The physician may spend from several hours
to several days per month with the preceptor. The physician is responsible
for maintaining and submitting a log of preceptor/educational activities.
In addition to carrying out the structured physician education plan, the
Educational Intervention may be supplemented by more traditional
medical education activities including:
- Mini-Residencies (from one week to several months)
- Professional reading
- Home study and self-assessment courses
- Video-tape, CD-Rom, and internet courses
- Specialty field updates and clinical courses
- Communication courses and coaching
- Documentation courses and coaching
Monitoring and Reporting
The CPEP staff maintains ongoing contact with the physician to monitor
activities, track progress made toward meeting the educational objectives,
revise or update the plan as necessary, and provide assistance with
any potential barriers that may impact its completion. In addition,
CPEP will submit quarterly reports of the participant’s progress
and compliance— or non-compliance if warranted— to appropriate
organizations.
