I hope to continue on the road that Dr. Gareth paved so well. My first inclusion in to the land of PsychSplash involves Human Research Subjects Training. As a Ph.D. Student who is almost finished with his proposal, I am working on the IRB as well, and this can be a daunting task sometimes to keep the principles of the human research participant combined with my own wanting to get the proposal done. To that end, I have found in my research the Collaborative Institutional Training Initiative, which helps keeps participants up-to-date on IRB and research training.

These new media are referred to as “e-CME” and “e-CPD”, and should be taken as covering the delivery of CME/CPD by methods including: recorded audio, recorded visual, recorded on Compact Disc (CD), recorded on Digital Versatile Disc (DVD), available on Personal Digital Assistant (PDA), available online via an educational website, or any mixture of the preceding. In Europe there is still a long way to go before national bodies recognise online CME as accreditable. Most national societies focus on live CME and one can wonder, when will online medical education truly become an issue?
