Learning Objectives

Well-written learning objectives are your road map to designing an effective CME activity. They help you plan your educational content and communicate to the learners what they can expect to be able to do as a result of their participation in the activity. Objectives should be written as measurable actions that the learner can perform or implement. Learning objectives must be designed to measure outcomes in terms of changes in the learner's competence, performance, and/or patient outcomes. The ACCME defines competence as "knowing how" to do something.  Knowledge, in the presence of experience and judgment, is translated into ability (competence) - which has not yet been put into practice. It is what a professional would do in practice if given the opportunity. The skills, abilities, and strategies one implements in practice are considered performance.
