The following article about Interactive Workshops on The Learning of Physician Office-based Procedural Skills 
described to summarize the effects of two procedural workshops on participants’ confidence, proficiency, and practice patterns. Training physicians in new procedures can be problematic as barriers include: lack of trained faculty, adequate patient numbers, cost, and access to equipment according to the article.
It is mentioned that the purpose of the article is to describe and summarize the preliminary results of using an interactive workshop format to teach skin biopsy and arthrocentesis/ jont injection skills to practicing internists. In order to achieve this aims, the authors used the setting for the workshops was the American College of Physicians annual scientific meeting which was attended by 5500 to 6000 physicians for 3 days of continuing medical education activities.
In this article we can find the workshop model for both the skin biopsy and arthrocentesis, evaluation instead of Number of Procedures Performed Before and Eight Months After a Training Workshop, Number of Arthrocentesis After Training, Number of Joint Injections After Training, Percentage of Referrals for Skin Biopsy After Training, Percentage of Referrals for Arthrocentesis/Joint Injection After Training.
Patrick C. Alguire, MD from Education and Career Development American College of Physicians Philadelphia, as the author of this article concluded that a workshop model that incorporates the basic principles of adult learning, and utilizes the teaching strategies of demonstration, hands-on practice, and feedback is a feasible teaching format for practicing physicians.
