Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Psychology
  • Health Professions

Background:

  • Self-Determination Theory suggests intrinsic values enhance motivation for continuing professional development (CPD).
  • Physicians' perceptions of CPD alignment with personal values influence their motivational orientation.
  • Understanding these links is crucial for optimizing physician engagement in lifelong learning.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the impact of physicians' values on their motivation for continuing professional development (CPD).
  • To explore the relationship between perceived alignment of CPD with intrinsic/extrinsic values and motivational orientation.

Main Methods:

  • A cross-sectional online survey was administered to practicing physicians in a Canadian province.
  • The survey assessed CPD motivation, the importance of intrinsic and extrinsic values, and the alignment of CPD with these values.
  • 122 physicians completed the survey.

Main Results:

  • Perceiving CPD as contributing to "helping others" positively correlated with intrinsic, identified, and introjected regulation.
  • Viewing CPD as contributing to "personal growth" was positively associated with identified regulation.
  • Physicians aligning CPD with intrinsic values reported more desirable motivational orientations.

Conclusions:

  • Physicians' perception of CPD alignment with intrinsic values, such as helping others and personal growth, positively influences their motivation.
  • Continuing professional development (CPD) providers should emphasize the connection between CPD activities and physicians' intrinsic values.
  • Highlighting these connections in promotional materials can enhance physician motivation and engagement in CPD.
