Abstract:
In Europe, continuing medical education is one of the main instruments for improving physicians' performance and ensuring adequate health care for citizens. Recent regulations have made such continuing education compulsory in Italy. Considering the particular features of occupational medicine, the Italian Society of Industrial Medicine and Industrial Hygiene (S.I.M.L.I.I.) recently set up a specific education and accreditation programme for occupational physicians, called the "Excellence Accreditation Scheme". The programme is based on the findings of a survey among occupational physicians, carried out in collaboration with the National Institute of Occupational Safety and Prevention (I.S.P.E.S.L.), which enquired into their training and continuing education needs. The programme started in 2003, and its first edition-presented here-involved more than 400 physicians specialising in occupational health.
