Continuing medical education attendance is influenced by personal contact. Enhancing the general practitioner tutor role can improve engagement in continuing education for doctors.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Continuing Professional Development

Background:

  • General practitioners (GPs) require ongoing education to maintain and update their medical knowledge and skills.
  • Attendance patterns at continuing education (CE) meetings vary significantly among GPs.
  • Understanding factors influencing GP attendance is crucial for effective CE program design.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate attendance patterns at CE meetings among general practitioners.
  • To identify factors encouraging or discouraging GP attendance at CE events.
  • To compare characteristics of regular, occasional, and non-attenders.

Main Methods:

  • Comparative analysis of general practitioner characteristics based on attendance frequency.
  • Examination of attitudes and perceptions of frequent versus infrequent attenders.

  • Qualitative or quantitative assessment of factors influencing participation.

    • Main Results:

    • Significant differences exist in the characteristics of GPs with varying attendance rates.
    • Personal contact is identified as a key factor in changing attitudes towards CE.
    • Infrequent attenders perceive a need for greater personal interaction and involvement.

    Conclusions:

    • Enhancing the role of the general practitioner tutor can improve CE engagement.
    • Increased direct contact and influence with small groups of doctors is recommended.
    • Tailoring CE delivery to address GP perceptions and preferences is essential for improved participation.
