CME MMC: Evaluation of a continuous medical education tool by e-learning from the morbi-mortality conferences of the Burgundy

Objectives. -The objective of this study was to validate a continuing medical education e-learning tool. Methods. -The CME MMC was for all health professionals maternity Burgundy and concerned regional morbidity and mortality conferences. It was divided into steps: a pre-test for an assessment of initial knowledge, an access to the recommendations of each RMM and a post-test to assess the progress of participants. A satisfaction questionnaire was proposed after the test. The primary endpoint was the comparison of the post-test scores than the pre-test. Results. -CME MMC was opened 3 months and recorded 156 participants among 598 health professionals in Burgundy, a rate 2.4 times higher than the average participation rate at MMC the past two years. A statistically significant increase was demonstrated individually by comparing the post-test scores than the pre-test (P<0.00001). The increase was significantly higher for midwives and professionals absents at the RMM. Finally, 96.2% of participants have been satisfied by this formation. Conclusion. -This prospective multicenter study validates our tool. CME MMC is accessible, without geographic or time restrictions, not expensive, and efficient because it proves that it can update our knowledge in obstetrics and perinatology.
