Would someone be willing to send the comments re CPE changes into the Academy’s HOD as a Critical Issue? Please please do this as quickly as possible as they are now deciding what the Critical Issues will be for the next year starting in June. I cannot send it in as I will be on HOD. Please refer to HOD website and submit VPE changes as a Critical Issue - it is a BIG one! Thanks!
The criticism of hospital meals segment was very interesting. When patients have the freedom to select what they want for a meal, why is the hospital criticized? My husband had a 9 day hospital stay on the island of Aruba. It was fascinating and very good care in many ways, but as far as the food (which was good, just different), when he asked about choices he was told he could choose to eat it or not, and that I could bring in food if he'd like.
Tried taking the CDR survey but it was focused on providers of CEUs. I do appreciate that they are trying to be stricter on what is provided as CEUs, as I've attended a few in the past 2-3 years that went overboard in promoting their product/brand and I really didn't get out of it what I had hoped; webinars provided by a yogurt company, pork, and by a respected author promoting her book rather than giving any usable information come to mind. I've also attended quite a few that did an excellent job of providing science based information without mentioning their product/brand every other sentence. I hope the end result will be balanced and fair.
thanks for your comment Sandi! hope your husband is ok...and that's an interesting take on hospital meals that they have in Aruba. Agree that closer scrutiny and oversight of CPEs is important -you should know that you can always give CDR feedback about CPE's - especially if they don't meet objectives or are blatant advertisements.

TY so much for the CDR survey- Odd that they did not send it out more widely to practitioners.
yes, especially since the potential impact on practioners could be pretty substantial...thanks for commenting Mary!
