Using the grey literature to enhance research and practice in continuing education for health professionals

摘要

Each year there are several major live conferences offering presentations and workshops addressing the latest in research, best practice, and innovation in continuing education in the health professions (CEHP). Each conference leaves behind many artifacts. For example, CME Congress 2012-held last spring in Toronto and the subject of two commentaries in this issue-yielded abstracts, handouts, posters, slide presentations, newsletter articles, blog entries, tweets, participant notes, and video recordings. Some will make it into the conventional published literature. The rest will become part of the grey literature.
