Although postgraduate medical education, commonly referred to as continuing medical education (CME), is the longest and arguably the most important educational phase of a physician's career, it is considerably neglected when compared with undergraduate and graduate medical education. An increasing recognition of the importance of CME, in combination with issues regarding industry funding, a renewed focus on interprofessional education, and a major change in how health care professionals obtain continuing education, has thrust CME into an unaccustomed spotlight. Hence, Continuing Medical Education: Looking Back, Planning Ahead, edited by Dennis Wentz, is a timely read. As the title suggests, the book is a comprehensive examination of the past, present, and potential future of CME.
