Introduction: Continuing Medical Education (CME) / Continuing Professional Development (CPD) is in fact the longest part of the whole continuum of medical education. In many countries CME/CPD is steered by accreditation of the specific events and programs offered and linked to the re-certification/re-licencing of the individual doctors. The purpose of the whole process of CME/CPD in General Practice/Family Medicine (GP/FM), its accreditation and re-certification is to assure the best possible practices for primary medical care: to make sure that when a citizen (healthy or not) visits a general practitioner, he will have easy access and get up-to-date care in a professional and humanistic context. Main objective of workshop: To explore and disseminate information about the situation in European countries concerning: the accreditation of the CME/CPD events and programs in GP/FM and the re-certification/re-licencing procedures for general practitioners. Methods of work: - Presentation of first results of a study by questionnaire within EURACT Council on the situation of accreditation in CME/CPD in GP/FM and on re-certification / re-licensing in Europe. - Exploring and exchanging personal experiences in different countries in small groups and finding conclusions based on these experiences.

How the individual educational needs can be fulfilled within the re-certification process? What is the role of peers? What is the role of governmental and university instances?
