AOCOPM Needs Assessment Kit
Contents
From the AOA CME Standards2.2.3 Educational Standards and Practices 2.2.3.1 Needs Assessment - An accredited sponsor shall systematically identify the CME needs of prospective participants and use that information in planning CME activities. The following criteria relating to the needs assessment are required for submissions to the CME Division upon request for AOA Category 1-A or Category 1-B credit for pre-approval:
2.2.3.2 Objectives - An accredited sponsor shall, for each CME event, develop objectives based on identified educational needs.
Date: March5, 2010 To: Divisional Affiliate Executive Directors CC: Linda Mascheri, Director, AOA Department of State, Affiliate, Socioeconomic, and International Affairs
Diane Burkhart, PhD, Director, AOA Department of Education From: Diana Ewert, MPA, CAEDirector, Division of Affiliate Affairs RE: AOA CME Needs Assessment – Source Data The Division of Affiliate Affairs is receiving multiple requests for additional help when it comes to submitting the required needs assessment to the Education Department why applying for CME consideration. The most often asked question concerns source data, i.e., Where can we find source data? It is not appropriate for the division to comment or critique needs assessment documentation. However, we can provide you links to third-party sites to further research and address the areas of education you provide through your respective organizations. You may be able to obtain data relative to building your needs assessment, thus your educational programs through these resources. Note that this is neither a complete nor exhaustive list – we are providing a few of the more well- known sources to get you started. We would like to see this become a living, breathing document that you augment by adding your own resources and links to information relative to educational topics that other affiliates can draw upon when conducting their own needs assessment. Please let me know if this is helpful to you. I look forward to your comments and feedback.
