What is ‘commitment to change (Question 3-Plan for a CME Activity)?
Commitment to change is a simple way of discovering actual changes in the learner’s practice that resulted from the educational activity. At the very beginning of the course, the audience is given an NCR form (e.g. ‘no carbon required’) and instructed to write down as they listen during the sessions those changes in their practice they intend to implement. At the end of the course, the audience splits the form, taking one copy for themselves and leaving one copy with the course representative. At 1-3 months in the future, the learner is contacted and asked about the status of implementation of the intended changes, barriers identified, and the next steps identified. They can be used for evaluation at the performance level. The UUCME office can provide you with more details and assistance with instituting the commitment to change strategy.
