Rockville, MD September 18, 2007 -- CME Outfitters, LLC, an independent accredited provider of multidisciplinary medical education programming and related healthcare communications services, is pleased to announce an upcoming live and interactive evidence-based neuroscienceCME TV activity titled "From Paper to Patient: Applying Clinical Literature to Practice Improvements, Part 1 - Evidence-Based Medicine: Rationale and Conceptual Framework."

Offered as a simultaneous satellite broadcast, webcast, and telephone audioconference, neuroscienceCME TV is a one-hour, live and interactive continuing education (CE) activity where leading experts discuss clinically relevant, evidence-based issues facing mental health practitioners. Each broadcast's interactivity is enhanced by offering a Q&A segment during which the faculty presenters can respond to audience comments and questions posed via e-mail, fax, or phone. CME Outfitters has also developed a web-based instant polling feature that allows live webcast participants a chance to provide real-time input. Online CE credit is offered to participants upon completion of each activity, at neuroscienceCME.com.

Premiering Wednesday, October 10, 2007, from 12:00 p.m.-1:00 p.m. ET, the activity will provide basic knowledge and skills on evidence-based medicine to psychiatry practitioners and provide guidance on methods for incorporating evidence into practice. The recorded satellite broadcast will re-air from 3:00 p.m.-4:00 p.m. ET. This CE activity will also be available as an archived webcast, podcast, and telephone audioconference shortly after the live broadcast, and available as a multimedia CD-ROM in November 2007.

There is no fee to participate or receive CE credit for this activity; however, registration is required. Three forms of registration are accepted:

Statement of Need:

Clinical care is increasingly reliant on evidence-based medicine (EBM) practices, a mechanism for distilling medical literature into a subset of sound and rigorous findings to guide clinical decision-making. The EBM process involves collecting data on a clinical question, critically reviewing it, putting it into context, and then applying it to the patient. In psychiatry, scientific evidence for application to many important problems is lacking or controversial. And although the body of medical literature in psychiatry is expanding rapidly, not all research findings are of equal value; psychiatrists need education on how to evaluate research and to cull only the most relevant and rigorous evidence for integration into practice. Training in evidence-based psychiatry is uncommon, and there is an unmet need for psychiatrists to master the basic knowledge and skills needed to use EBM. In Part 1 of this neuroscienceCME TV activity, faculty will guide clinicians through the formulation of appropriate clinical questions that can be addressed with EBM, and in methods for conducting targeted literature searches.
