If They Build It They Will Come: A Bidirectional Approach to Continuing Medical Education in Haiti Davis, BW, MS, MPH, OMSIV; Curry, C, MD, PhD; Nadas, M, MD, MPH. Physicians for Haiti; Boston University School of Medicine, Boston, MA Introduction: Continuing Medical Education (CME) for Haitian physicians was limited before and subsequently weakened by the 2010 earthquake. Physicians for Haiti (P4H) is a Boston-based non-profit organization that works in conjunction with Haitian physicians to advance medical education in Haiti. P4H’s provides Haitian-directed creation and provision of situation-relevant CME material with a goal of increased participation by Haitian healthcare providers in educational activities. This is an assessment of P4H’s activities over a two-year period. Methods: This is a retrospective analysis of P4H’s activities and interventions from January 2011 through December 2012. A formal needs assessment was performed in 2011 including over sixty Haitian physicians. Program implementation was initiated in parallel to the needs assessment with preliminary data from our Haitian partner organizations guiding the development of educational modules, online educational case discussions, in-person conferences and workshops. P4H also created a Visiting Professor Program and travel grants to allow for Haitian physicians to participate in international conferences with the objective of beginning a means for the bilateral exchange of ideas. All projects were monitored including the number of educational modules created, the participation in online discussions, and attendance at in-person conferences. We also evaluated recipient response and feedback in terms of satisfaction and short term knowledge acquisition. Results: During the two-year analysis period P4H produced nine educational modules on subjects such as diabetes mellitus and neonatal nutrition. The number of members in our online case discussion increased by 78% percent, from 20 to 91 members and these participants engaged in 63 discussions. There have been 19 conferences with approximately 30 attendees at each, and two country-wide CME conferences with 80 participants in 2011 and 145 participants in 2012, representing a 50% growth in participation. Five Visiting Professors teaching courses in subjects ranging from the social determinants of health to neurology were provided to P4H partners. Travel grants for four residents and three attending physicians were provided for attendance at international health conferences. Conclusion: The attendance and participation in the CMEs provided by P4H has increased over the two-year analysis period, suggesting that there is the desire for formal medical education beyond the undergraduate and post-graduate level
in Haiti. Future research can focus on qualitative analysis of the post-CME surveys to better address the needs Haitian physicians identify in their practice.
