In our ICU, many nurses review educational materials about new unit practices or devices assigned by their nurse managers when they do not have patient care responsibilities. Learning these materials is part of the job, and they are held accountable by their employer, the hospital. Physicians rarely do something similar during their clinical workday. Physician education is done away from work at specific continuing medical education opportunities and is generally tied to state medical licensure and national board-certification requirements. The content presented is rarely specific to the hospital at which they work.
