Electronic research databases provider EBSCO Publishing, US, has announced a partnership with the Canadian Medical Association (CMA) to provide institutional access to Mainpro MI educational credits via DynaMed, an evidence-based reference resource. The integration of DynaMed with the CMA system enables physicians to use DynaMed for research and quickly and easily earn Continuing Medical Education (CME) credits.
Representing more than 74,000 of Canada's physicians, the CMA claims to be the only association that offers automatic transfer of credits to the College of Family Physicians Canada (CFPC).
DynaMed is a clinical reference tool created by physicians for physicians and other healthcare professionals for use primarily at the point-of-care. It contains clinically-organised summaries for more than 3,200 topics; the database is updated daily and can be integrated into electronic health records.
The new partnership with DynaMed enables the CMA to help physicians work towards obtaining their credits through a self-reflective look at their practice while earning continuing medical education credits. Institutional access provides a direct link from clinical summaries within DynaMed to their CMA account to submit searches and receive Mainpro MI educational credits.
CMA members may access DynaMed at http://www.cma.ca/clinicalresources/dynamed. Institutions currently subscribing to DynaMed may have the new CMA CME feature turned on within their subscription at no additional charge.
