MANUSCRIPT: General Practitioners’ preferences and use of educational media: a German perspective
Abstract
Background: Several studies suggest that General Practitioners (GPs) prefer “traditional” media such as journals or quality circles when they are seeking out different options to meet their continuing medical education (CME) requirements. A survey was designed in order to gain a better understanding of German General Practitioners’ preferences for different forms of educational media that will meet their CME needs.
