Abstract

Changes in health-care financing, complex technological advancements, and an expanding nursing knowledge base have made it increasingly difficult for health care educators to assess and enhance the development of professional nurses. Using a set of objective evaluation methods and tools, educators assessed the competency of novice and experienced staff. This information identified learning and practice needs that formed the bases for individualized orientation and clinical educational programs.

[General practitioners want continuing education. Audit registrations among 369 physicians in Copenhagen].

The purpose of the study was to evaluate general practitioners' (GPs') interest in CME. A medical audit comprising 369 GPs in three counties was conducted in 1996. During 28,550 consultations the participating GPs recorded clinical subject, handling of the consultation, problems in the consultation and perceived need for training in relation to the consultation. The interest in CME varied from GP to GP and from one clinical subject to another. Desire for CME was expressed in relation to 16% of the consultations, most frequently in relation to psychiatry, community medicine and musculoskeletal diseases. Theoretical courses were the learning style most often preferred, especially for subjects requiring biomedical knowledge. Newer educational methods were also listed. Organisers of CME for general practitioners should be aware of the wide range of needs and wishes for CME among general practitioners.
