What the Croatian Doctors want to e learning about?

The aim of the study was to examine doctor's attitude about topics in continuing medical education (CME) using anonymous questionnaire which was been given to the members of the Croatian Medical Association in Rijeka. The questions concerned doctor's interest for certain medical fields, influence of CME to their everyday practice, and importance of getting credits for re-licensure as a motive to participate in CME. The highest interest was shown for CME in emergency/intensive medicine and the lowest for transplantation medicine. The doctors in primary care show statistically significant higher interest for CME in family medicine, pulmology, rheumatology and rehabilitation medicine than hospital doctors. The influence of CME in every day practice and the importance of getting credits for re-licensure as reason to participate in CME, in the most cases, has been valuated with medium grade 3. The results indicated the existence of specific needs in CME and stressed the importance of having CME with topics from clinical practice.
