Physicians found online evidence-based medicine (EBM) courses beneficial but faced barriers like time constraints and computer unfamiliarity. Understanding these beliefs helps improve continuing medical education (CME) program completion rates.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Continuing Professional Development
  • Evidence-Based Medicine (EBM)

Background:

  • The Faculty of Medicine at Laval University developed an internet-based EBM program.
  • Low completion rates (3/40) were observed for the paid online program within one year.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify physicians' beliefs influencing the completion of an online EBM continuing medical education (CME) program.
  • To understand perceived advantages, obstacles, and facilitating conditions for program completion.

Main Methods:

  • A descriptive study utilizing the Theory of Planned Behaviour framework.
  • Semi-structured telephone interviews were conducted with 35 physicians (88% response rate).
  • Content analysis by independent reviewers ensured reliability of findings organized by belief categories.

Main Results:

  • Physicians perceived advantages to completing the online EBM program.
  • Significant barriers included perceived time constraints, lack of personal discipline, and computer unfamiliarity.
  • These factors hindered program completion despite perceived benefits.

Conclusions:

  • The study provides theoretical insights into physicians' beliefs regarding online CME completion.
  • Findings informed program modifications to enhance physician engagement and implementation.
  • Addressing identified barriers is crucial for improving online EBM program uptake.
