The Virginia Commonwealth University, Medical College of Virginia
Campus (VCU) Office of Continuing Professional Development &
Evaluation Studies (CPDE) comprises two program areas: the
Continuing Medical Education program area and the Evaluation Studies
program area.
Continuing
Medical Education
Through
the CME program, CPDE offers educational activities to enhance
the clinical competence and professional development of physicians.
CPDE manages programs for physicians and other health care professionals
throughout Virginia, the Mid-Atlantic region, and the United States.
These activities include annual conferences, regularly scheduled
community based 
presentations, clinically-oriented experiences held at VCU Health
System's Medical College of Virginia Hospitals and the McGuire Veteran's Affairs Medical Center, independent learning opportunities, and both printed and
on-line enduring materials.
CPDE hosts one of the larger university continuing medical
education programs in the United States. Annually, over 17,000 physicians
and health care professionals participate in VCU sponsored and jointly
sponsored continuing education activities. Each activity is
designed to meet identified educational needs in clinical practice
and health care delivery, in an era of rapidly expanding knowledge,
new technologies, and progressive demands on health care professionals.
Mission Statement for CME
Evaluation
Studies
Through
the Evaluation Studies program, CPDE conducts research and evaluation
studies across the continuum of medical education. The goals
of the Evaluation Studies program are:
- to offer evaluation services to enhance teaching
and learning of VCU faculty who provide undergraduate, graduate
and continuing medical education; and
- to conduct research and utilize results
to continuously improve educational effectiveness by exploring
the professional development of physicians, their learning, clinical
behavior, and patient outcomes.
