If you haven’t yet checked out our resource page, I strongly recommend you do. You may think the page only has material related to certified CME activities held here at Hopkins or conducted by our Office of CME. In fact the site also includes important links related to licensure, certification, general interest and direct patient care. We have provided links to the AMA and AAMC as sites that may include general information for faculty development. Links to Federation of State Medical Boards (FSMB), the Maryland Board of Physicians and the American Board of Medical Specialties (ABMS) should facilitate information acquisition related to any state that a faculty member may seek licensure or relicensure in, rules related to Maryland licensure including CME requirements and links to all Medical Specialty web sites through the ABMS. This site will also provide valuable information related to Maintenance of Certification (MOC).
The resource page also provides quick links to a host of other educational sites. These include the Center for Education resources, The Osler Center, AHRQ and its embedded M&M site as well as a link to the British Medical Journal learning website. In addition quick links to CMS, The Joint Commission, NQF, and the NCQA are provided. For those with an interest in the legal aspects of medical issues we have provided links to the FDA and the OIG.
Finally, links to AHRQ effectiveness guides and summaries designed for both clinicians and patients are available to help the busy clinician with care of the patient while also providing educational material for the patient and their family.
