Description

In the last 12 months, approximately 10% to 20% of all providers of continuing medical education (CME) have permanently shut their doors or decided to shift their business in a different direction. Commercial funding for medical education, after having increased every year between 1998 and 2007, fell for the first time in 2008, and all signs indicate that it tumbled further in 2009. Published reports from large metropolitan newspapers such as The New York Times and The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel spurred Washington into action about potential conflicts of interest, as Congress held hearings in 2009 that put industry leaders on the defensive. CME is clearly on the ropes, bobbing and weaving as critics line up to get in their licks. The question is whether it will be able to mount a counterattack that quiets detractors or simply be counted out.
