| Title | Elements and Definitions of Continuing Professional Development Leadership: A Scoping Review |
| Background/Purpose | 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, while leadership is a core competency for physicians, there is scarce literature on CPD leadership. Therefore, we set out to study what CPD leadership means, and describe the competencies required for CPD leadership. |
| Methods | We conducted a scoping review following PRISMA-ScR guidelines. 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. We used a narrative approach to summarize results, inductively coded data, and produced descriptive statistics of publication characteristics. |
| Results | Among 3886 publications, 46 were eligible for full review, and 13 met final inclusion criteria. They were published between 1984 and 2020, and were from five countries, with more than half from the USA. There was no agreed upon definition of CPD leadership, and variable models and approaches to leadership in the literature. Contextual issues that shape CPD leadership are evolving. We identified a number of elements of CPD leadership however, no established set of unique competencies. |
| Discussion | It is clear from the current context that CPD professionals will need to expand their competencies and we hope that these results will offer the CPD community a foundation upon which competencies, models, and training programs can build. We suggest the adaptation of existing leadership frameworks to a CPD context to better guide leadership and leadership development programs. |
