Why does the AAFP support EB CME?
Basing CME clinical content on the current best research evidence reduces the potential for bias and boosts reliability of the content. Combined with the clinician’s judgment regarding the content’s usefulness in a given clinical scenario, those factors add to the value of the CME content. In addition, by providing useful tools — in the form of practice recommendations — based on solid evidence, EB CME activities should enhance physicians’ clinical decision-making and, ultimately, improve patient outcomes. By providing double credit for EB CME, the AAFP hopes to convey this value to family physicians and CME providers.
