Continuing medical education: understanding general practitioners who rarely attend, a cross-sectional questionnaire study among Danish GPs.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Continuing medical education (CME) is vital for patient care, society, and general practitioners' (GPs) wellbeing. Despite its benefits, some GPs attend CME infrequently. While GPs' preferences for CME are well documented, it is unclear if these preferences are shared by infrequent users. Exploring infrequent CME users' preferences and educational needs is essential to engage them effectively.

Aims of the study

To explore infrequent users' preferences for CME formats and their attitudes towards mandatory CME compared to their CME attending GP colleagues.

Methods

A cross-sectional questionnaire study was conducted among all 3,257 GPs in Denmark. Descriptive statistics and logistic regression analyses were used.
