One of the goals of continuing healthcare education is to acquire and retain new knowledge that will ultimately affect clinical practice and patient outcomes. The following survey is a baseline assessment instrument that measures gaps in competencies associated with the learning objectives in a curriculum of 5 activities. This baseline survey is available for CME credit. The 5 subsequent activities are to be developed and published on Medscape as part of an overall curriculum on advances in adult ADHD diagnosis and treatment practices. The initial survey data represent the baseline, with each subsequent activity's post-test showing educational impact. The survey will test your knowledge of adult ADHD and specifically will assess your use of evidence-based diagnosis and treatment strategies and measure any performance improvement in future clinical practice. Data from this baseline survey activity will help facilitate recommendations for future programs that will best meet the educational and clinical performance gaps identified. We encourage you to complete this survey activity and earn CME credit.
Case 1
A 38-year-old man presents for a check-up to see if there could be a medical reason for increasing problems he is having in dealing with work and family issues. He works in advertising at a large company. When interviewed, he reports the following: He recently was put on probation at work for inability to complete projects in a timely and error-free manner. He has trouble concentrating at work because it is so boring; then he gets behind because he puts off the really "mind-numbing" tasks in projects. He has always put off anything that is just not interesting and it has worked out, even though in school his grades suffered because he missed deadlines. He prefers the excitement of giving presentations over writing up all the materials that lead up to the presentations. His habit of misplacing items like his keys and forgetting family activities has caused tension recently with his wife. His patience has worn thin with his really hyper 12-year-old son. He complains that he is now worrying about work outcomes and getting along with his wife. You perform a physical examination that is unremarkable. He reports no significant medical problems, only a tonsillectomy as a child and a broken leg. He is not taking any medications. A review of systems is unremarkable. His ECG is normal.
