The mission of Tufts University School of Medicine (TUSM) Office of Continuing Education (OCE) is to enhance clinician knowledge and competence; improve clinician performance; and promote lifelong learning for Tufts-affiliated physicians, nurses, pharmacists, and for other health practitioners locally, regionally, nationally and internationally. The ultimate goal of this endeavor is to improve patient care and health outcomes.

We fulfill this mission through the development of educational activities that: address gaps in knowledge, quality or performance; disseminate evidence-based knowledge and skills; employ educational methods that are suitable to the content, topic, and target audience; and are free from commercial bias or influence.

We engage in systematic analysis of the value and impact of our educational activities and strive continuously to improve the quality and effectiveness of this work.

Content Areas

TUSM’s continuing education activities are designed to address one or more of the ABMS/ACGME General Competencies including Medical/Clinical Knowledge, Patient Care, Professionalism, Interpersonal and Communications Skills, Practice-Based Learning and Improvement, and Systems-Based Practice.  In addition, in the Program as a whole, we aim to address the IOM core competencies including practicing patient-centered care, working in interdisciplinary teams, employing evidence-based practice, applying quality improvement techniques and utilizing informatics.

Drawing on the expertise of Tufts-affiliated faculty, as well as regional, national and internationally-recognized experts, educational content addresses needs assessments and practice gaps derived from a range of sources.  These include prior course evaluations, surveys of learners, specialty society guidelines, planning committees, literature reviews, and regulatory requirements, as well as hospital-and practice-based and publicly reported quality and performance data.

TUSM OCE’s educational approach for health care professionals responds to the realities of today’s health care system, including the need to:

Systematically assess and improve quality;

Provide cost-effective, high quality care;

Manage care using patient-centered approaches and strategies; and

Coordinate and deliver care through organized systems and multidisciplinary teams.
