CME


Share | There is no wonder that medicine sees its darkest days since the referendum. CME from a practical standpoint seems non-existent. Meetings are either marketing platforms for drug companies or profit centers for other commercial enterprises. The day university medical schools became self sustaining we lost the historical human values of medicine. It's all about drugs and procedures. Diagnosis threatens to become a lost art. Clinical decision support, CDS and knowledge coupling offer some hope but not at a price that exceeds their benefit or as a profit center for yet another hungry cow feeding off of the healthcare trough.

I am saddened to see KU charge $2,195 for a course that exists entirely in cyberspace, i.e. no overhead.
