929-P: Assessment of Impact of Online CME and Future Education Needs Related to Automated Insulin Delivery Use in People with T2D

Résumé fourni par la source

Introduction and Objective: We measured the impact of online continuing medical education (CME) on knowledge and confidence of primary care physicians (PCPs) and diabetologists/endocrinologists (D/Es) on new data for using automated insulin delivery (AID) in people with T2D. Methods: The intervention comprised a 30-min online video-based discussion among 3 expert faculty with downloadable slides. Education effect assessed with a linked and matched pre-/post-assessment design. A paired samples t-test was conducted for significance testing on overall responses and for confidence rating, and a McNemar test was conducted at the question level (5% significance level, P <.05). Data collected October 28, 2024 through December 10, 2024. Results: 206 PCPs and 39 D/Es answered all questions. Overall, 27% of PCPs and 28% of D/Es improved their knowledge/competence (P<.01). On a question-level: 11%-13% of PCPs and 10%-24% of D/Es improved at recognizing clinical trial data (P<.01 for PCPs and P<.05 D/Es). 43% of PCPs and 62% of D/Es had improved confidence in selecting patients with T2D for AID use (P<.01 for both PCPs and D/Es), with average confidence shifts of +78% and +63%, respectively. Continued educational gaps include: 72% of PCPs and 54% of D/Es need additional education on clinical trial data supporting use of AID in T2D and 77% of PCPs and 72% of D/Es need additional education on patient population included in clinical trials. Conclusion: The 10%-24% increase in knowledge and strong confidence improvements demonstrate the success of this online CME on improving clinical knowledge in PCPs and D/Es related to new data for using AID in people with T2D. Baseline knowledge was low and continued gaps large, demonstrating the need for multiple education modalities to improve clinical understanding before PCPs and D/Es can be expected to apply data to practice. Confidence gains show that additional educational opportunities like this activity can help achieve this goal. Disclosure A. Larkin: None. J. Schrand: None. A. Le: None.
