[Continued medical education from the viewpoint of the established physician]

From the point of view of the General Practitioner continuous medical training of today still is in many aspects insufficient. Mainly the choice of the topics is not oriented at the real training needs of the G.P. and has only poor relationships to every day practice. There are rather no possibilities of an active involvement of the G.P. and a lot of sessions are still carried out by speakers with a special clinical experience. It seems that the peer review groups will be one of the most successful forms of continuous training in the future. It leads to an active co-operative training among C.P.'s, totally realize to every days practice and leads to a more standardized and better care of the patient.
