Continued medical education credit hours: Are they being awarded too liberally?

ABSTRACT

Credit points are being distributed like prasad (temple offerings). Just to gain credit hours, doctors are attending different specialty CME meets.[5] Our body cannot be compartmentalized to subjects, so, any doctor can attend CME on any specialty and get credit hours. However, weightage should be given to credit points awarded in his/her specialty. Similarly, credit points should preferably be given to those who subscribe to journals and are members of associations of their specialty.
