Abstract

The need for continuing medical education results from the challenge of retaining competence in treating patients. The quality of care is thus directly related to continuing medical education. Contents are knowledge as well as behaviour. Methods should be orientated towards personal needs and problems encountered. Selective and critical reading is of paramount importance. Of equal impact are more or less formalized personal interactions. Learning by teaching is an effective means of continuing medical education.
