Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Healthcare Management
  • Professional Development

Background:

  • Continuing professional development (CPD) for consultants in Denmark involves shared responsibility between employers and consultants.
  • This study examines how this shared responsibility is enacted within existing financial, organizational, and normative frameworks.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore the practical patterns of shared responsibility for consultant CPD.
  • To analyze the influence of structural conditions on CPD practices.

Main Methods:

  • Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 26 consultants and 9 heads of department across 5 hospitals in Denmark.
  • Data from 2019 was analyzed using critical theory to understand individual choices versus structural constraints.

Main Results:

  • CPD often involves short-term trade-offs concerning topics, funding, time, and learning outcomes for both consultants and department heads.
  • Governance of CPD ranges from basic fund administration to aligning individual and departmental priorities.

Conclusions:

  • Practices of shared responsibility for CPD vary significantly across departments.
  • While offering flexibility, structural conditions like tight budgets and inconsistent management may lead to unplanned CPD activities.
