These programs are broader in nature than the medical staff consultations, but developed to meet the specific needs of interests of a hospital. Within the context of ensuring quality patient care, educational programs address the organizational, medical-legal, leadership, and regulatory demands that directly impact physicians. Programs are designed to meet the educational needs of the specific organization. Both didactic and interactive educational methods are used. The format is determined by the organization.
Presentations contain a didactic segment, and as appropriate, are interactive.
Demonstration techniques may be utilized when applicable. Depending upon the extent of the educational program topics and length of the program, one or more faculty are scheduled. Educational resource material is prepared for each participant. As experienced surveyors for the CALS program, faculty can offer a broad variety of topics related to required medical staff activities.
