AI Article Synopsis
Article Abstract
Introduction: Leaders are being asked to transform the way that continuing professional development (CPD) is delivered to focus on better, safer, and higher quality care. However, there is scarce literature on CPD leadership. We set out to study what CPD leadership means and describe the competencies required for CPD leadership.
Methods: A scoping review following Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses extension guidelines for scoping reviews guidelines was conducted. With librarian support, four databases were searched for publications related to leadership, medical education, and CPD. Publications were screened by two reviewers and three reviewers extracted data.
Results: Among 3886 publications, 46 were eligible for a full-text review and 13 met the final inclusion criteria. There was no agreed upon definition of CPD leadership and variable models and approaches to leadership in the literature. Contextual issues shaping CPD (eg, funding, training, and information technology) are evolving. We identified several attitudes and behaviors (eg, strategic thinking), skills (eg, collaboration), and knowledge (eg, organizational awareness) important to CPD leadership, but no established set of unique competencies.
Discussion: These results offer the CPD community a foundation on which competencies, models, and training programs can build. This work suggests the need to build consensus on what CPD leadership means, what CPD leaders do, and what they will need to create and sustain change. We suggest the adaptation of existing leadership frameworks to a CPD context to better guide leadership and leadership development programs.

Background: Opinion leadership, educational outreach visiting, and innovation championing are commonly used strategies to address barriers to implementing innovations and evidence-based practices in healthcare settings. Despite voluminous research, ambiguities persist in how these strategies work and under what conditions they work well, work poorly, or work at all. The current paper develops middle-range theories to address this gap.

Introduction: Continuing professional development for health professionals increasingly relies on e-learning. However, there is insufficient research into the instructional strategies health professionals prefer to engage with in e-learning. An empirical study was undertaken to answer the research question: What instructional strategies do learners prefer in e-learning modules to improve their learning experience?
Methods: The Department of Health Professions Education at the Uniformed Services University of Health Sciences developed six, stand-alone, self-paced modules for health professionals focusing on education and leadership.

Introduction: Although the Continuing Professional Development (CPD) field has rapidly expanded in scope, breadth, and depth, there is a gap in how we understand CPD leadership and the role of the leader. Previous scholarship indicates that there is neither an agreed on set of competencies for CPD leadership roles nor a distinct pathway towards those roles. This study is aimed at answering the following question: How is leadership described or defined in CPD and what are the contextual issues that are and/or should be shaping its evolution?
Methods: Conducted between 2020 and 2022, CPD leadership program learners and CPD leaders with a range of leadership expertise were identified using convenience and purposive sampling and invited to participate in this study.
