    Continuing medical education (CME) lectures may not engage general practitioners due to mismatched learning styles. Hospital tutors and GP trainers favor theorist learning styles, differing from trainees and non-trainer principals.

    Area of Science:

    • Medical Education
    • General Practice
    • Learning Styles

    Background:

    • Continuing medical education (CME) sessions often have low attendance among general practitioners (GPs).
    • Traditional CME lectures, delivered by hospital consultants, may have a theoretical bias irrelevant to GPs' practical needs.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To compare the learning styles of educators and learners in general practice.
    • To investigate potential mismatches between teaching and learning preferences in CME.

    Main Methods:

    • Learning style questionnaires were administered to hospital clinical tutors, general practitioner trainers, trainees, and non-trainer principals.
    • The questionnaire assessed four learning preferences: activist, reflector, theorist, and pragmatist.

    Main Results:

    • Statistically significant differences were found in learning styles between hospital tutors/GP trainers and non-trainer principals/trainees.
    • Tutors and trainers scored higher on theorist, reflector, and pragmatist learning styles.
    • No significant differences were observed in activist learning style scores.

    Conclusions:

    • Educators' preferred learning styles (e.g., theorist) may not align with those of general practitioner learners.
    • Mismatched learning styles have implications for the design and effectiveness of continuing medical education in general practice.
