Excerpt:
The Canadian Association of Continuing Health Education (CACHE) is exploring solutions to the changing environment within Canada’s healthcare system through continuing health education (CHE). CACHE hosted a Canada-wide summit involving key stakeholders on October 2008. There was unanimous consensus to develop a sustainable CHE system, which defines appropriate processes and regulations that are balanced and mitigate bias from all sources.

CACHE hosted a Canada-wide summit on October, 2008, which was attended by 147 participants, representing various CHE stakeholder groups: academics-30; professional regulatory bodies and government-7; professional associations-22; healthcare centres and specialty societies-35; industry-34; CACHE Executive Board and Fall Summit Coordinators-19. The Syntegrity Group facilitated interactions: three broad categories were discussed by 2 concurrent roundtable groups. Each roundtable discussion was 1 hour and involved 9 panelists (each team represented Academia, Industry, Government,
and Professional Associations). The resulting 6 key statements were unanimously accepted by an electronic voting process at the 2009 CACHE Conference.
