Mapping the landscape of continuing professional development in communication education research

This presentation will include a guided tour through a mega map drawing on the evidence from 29 systematic reviews of continuing professional development.

Rooted in systematic review methodology, evidence gap maps or mega maps are a new research tool that illustrate available evidence in visual maps. The maps dynamic and interactive nature facilitate stakeholder involvement and tailoring of research questions of relevance to practice.

We have made a pilot mega map (available at  https://gapmap.danishdiabetesknowledgecenter.dk/cme/) and aim to:

• identify what we know and don’t know about communication education research
• tests the acceptability and feasibility by investigating the experience of target users of the map
