State the professional practice gap(s) on which this activity will be based. The “gap” is the difference between the learners’ “current” state of knowledge, competence or performance (what is), and the “ideal” state (what should be).

State the educational need(s) that you determined to be the cause of the professional practice gap(s), including needs sources (ie, morbidity/mortality data, new/updated guidelines just being released, new laws/regulations/requirements, etc.)

State what this accredited activity is designed to change in terms of learners’ competence or performance by providing one to three learning objectives incorporating verbs that communicate knowledge (example: describe, discuss, examine, identify, etc.), impart skill (example: demonstrate, measure, etc.) or convey attitudes (example: reflect, recognize, consider, realize, etc.). Avoid use of learn, understand, or know, as they are open to many interpretations.
