| Popis: | Study Design: Retrospective data analysis study. Objective: Attending continuing professional development (CPD) and continuing medical education (CME) activities is a necessity for practicing surgeons in most parts of the world. To enhance best practices in conducting CME/CPD, objective evaluation of these events is crucial. This article aims to evaluate one such international standardized CPD course conducted for facial surgeons across the globe. The Management of Facial Trauma course was developed by an international planning committee of experienced surgeons and has been implemented in all regions of the world. Method: This 2-day course is delivered using a combination of short lectures, small group discussions, and practical hands-on activities. Data collected from pre- and post-course evaluations of 86 Management of Facial Trauma courses conducted worldwide from 2017-2019 were collated and analyzed. Results: Participant demographics and experience levels varied slightly across the regions. Evaluation of the course effectiveness revealed overall high ratings for educational impact, content usefulness, and faculty performance. Conclusion: Our results indicated that this standardized course met the audience needs and enabled participants to plan changes in clinical practice. In addition, it confirmed that the course was relevant across different specialties and across different cultures and countries. |
