The Royal New Zealand College of General Practitioners (RNZCGP) reaccreditation program motivates many general practitioners to increase continuing medical education (CME). This program encourages higher quality courses and activities that promote behavioral change.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • General Practice
  • Professional Development

Background:

  • The Royal New Zealand College of General Practitioners (RNZCGP) reaccreditation program mandates continuing medical education (CME).
  • Understanding the impact of reaccreditation on CME practices is crucial for quality improvement in general practice.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate how RNZCGP reaccreditation requirements influence the quantity and nature of CME undertaken by general practitioners.
  • To assess the effectiveness of the RNZCGP reaccreditation program in shaping CME activities.

Main Methods:

  • A cross-sectional survey was conducted using a written questionnaire.
  • 200 general practitioners participating in the RNZCGP reaccreditation program were randomly selected.
  • A response rate of 82% was achieved.

Main Results:

  • Nearly half of the general practitioners reported increased motivation for CME due to the reaccreditation program.
  • While most experienced a modest increase in CME time, a trend towards selecting higher-quality courses was observed.
  • There was a notable shift towards educational activities more likely to foster behavioral change.

Conclusions:

  • The RNZCGP reaccreditation program positively impacts the CME engagement of participating general practitioners.
  • The program appears to be effective in guiding GPs towards more impactful and quality-focused professional development.
