Cover Story: Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS) is a severe chronic illness, and patients are medically underserved. Health professionals have limited opportunities for Continuing Medical Education (CME) about the epidemiology, diagnosis, and treatment of ME/CFS. We evaluated the effectiveness of a webinar on ME/CFS. In two studies (total N = 378), participants in the intervention condition completed a knowledge test before and after watching the webinar. Study 2 included a waiting list control condition without intermittent webinar participation. Most participants had observed patients with ME/CFS, but confidence in diagnosing and treating ME/CFS was moderate-to-low. Participants’ knowledge of ME/CFS increased under the intervention condition, but did not increase under the control condition. Webinars can be an efficient and effective means of delivering CME about ME/CFS. View this paper
