✦ Synopsis
Medical school faculty are asked to provide a major portion of the continuing medical education (CME) that occurs in the United States, yet little information is available regarding their attitude toward participating in CME. Members of the faculty from the Department of Medicine at the University of Washington were surveyed regarding their involvement in university-sponsored CME in order to identify issues that could be addressed to improve and enhance their participation. The perceived "costs" and "benefits" to the faculty were identified. Although each institution may have a different set of perceived costs and benefits, information from this survey may be useful to increase medical school faculty participation in CME and to make it a more rewarding endeavor.
