Mission:
The Continuing Professional Development mission at NYU Long Island School of Medicine (NYU-LISoM) is to:
• Promote life-long learning of licensed clinicians, including desirable physician attributes expressed in the ACGME core competencies, now universally adopted across the medical education continuum.
• Improve the knowledge, competence and performance of physicians and other clinical providers in all specialties of medicine, surgery, nursing, and clinical social work.
• Identify the professional practice gaps of internal and external medical staff that can be addressed through the CPD process.
• Design and implement CPD activities that present valid education content which is unbiased, evidence-based, and free of commercial interest.
• Enhance clinician performance to achieve institutional patient safety and performance improvement goals, as well as individual goals of maintenance of certification and re-licensure.
• Evaluate changes in physician/provider/nurse competence and performance resulting from CPD, using both quantitative and qualitative measures.
