Older and younger family physicians engage in continuing medical education (CME) differently. While older physicians dedicate more time to individual learning, younger physicians favor group activities, ensuring clinical competence across practice durations.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Family Medicine
  • Professional Development

Background:

  • Continuing Medical Education (CME) is crucial for maintaining physician competency.
  • Understanding how practice duration influences CME participation is vital for targeted educational strategies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare the continuing medical education (CME) activities of family physicians in Quebec based on years in practice.
  • To identify differences in CME engagement between physicians with over 25 years (older) and under 25 years (younger) of experience.

Main Methods:

  • A mailed questionnaire survey was administered to family physicians in Quebec.
  • Participants included 722 physicians with over 25 years of practice and 721 matched physicians with less than 25 years of practice.

Main Results:

  • Older physicians spent more monthly hours on individual CME (21 hours) compared to younger physicians (18 hours).
  • Younger physicians dedicated more yearly hours to group CME (100 hours) than older physicians (80 hours).
  • Older physicians disproportionately engaged in reading and listening to audiocassettes for CME.

Conclusions:

  • Physicians maintain clinical competence through varied CME approaches, irrespective of practice duration.
  • Both older and younger physicians participate comparably in CME, albeit through different modalities.
