Reregistration of gynaecologists in South Africa--results of a 1-year trial run.

OBJECTIVE: Evaluation of an Australian system of reregistration with recommendations for a possible future South African system. DESIGN: Cohort descriptive study. SETTING: Gynaecologists from both private and full-time academic practices. PARTICIPANTS: One hundred and eighty volunteers participated for a period of 1 year. INTERVENTION: Each participant had to obtain a minimum of 25 points and an additional subminimum in at least two of the following practice-related categories: audit, continuing medical education (CME), self-study and research or tuition. OUTCOME MEASURES: Compliance with the rules of the system and participants' comments. RESULTS: Ten of the 180 volunteers withdrew from the study. Only 42% of the remaining 170 participants returned their logbooks and a mere 32% their self-study questionnaires. The majority were in favour of self-study programmes or CME as future methods of reregistration. CONCLUSION: A future system of reregistration must be based on self-study programmes and a well-structured and relevant CME curriculum.

Reregistration of gynaecologists in South Africa--the profession's opinion.

OBJECTIVE: Testing of the profession's opinions and attitudes with regard to a possible reregistration system. METHODS: A questionnaire was sent to all the gynaecologists in South Africa to test their opinions and attitudes with regard to reregistration. RESULTS: After two mailings, 62.4% of the 603 gynaecologists had responded. Seventy per cent of the respondents were in private practice while 19% were in full-time academic positions. More than two-thirds (68%) of the respondents resided in a city, close to a medical school. Although 74% were in favour of the implementation of a reregistration system, only 56% were enthusiastic about it. Congress attendance and self-study programmes were the categories in which more than 85% of the respondents would be able to earn points. The general feeling was that such a system should be governed by the profession. CONCLUSIONS: The profession was in favour of a system of reregistration, but great concern was expressed at the contents of such a programme and the manner in which it would be governed.
