A survey of continuing medical education and continuing professional development systems in China
调查我国继续医学教育(continuing medical education,CME)与持续职业发展(continuing professional development,CPD)系统的特征,卫生专业技术人员对CME/CPD的认知,以及对当前CME/CPD系统满足学习需求的看法。
方法
2
采用问卷调查法。使用国际医学教育联盟(Association for Medical Education in Europe,AMEE)全球CME/CPD问卷中文版,于2020年至2021年对全国32个省(自治区、直辖市)的2 951名卫生专业技术人员进行线上调查。采用描述性统计、卡方检验和内容分析法对调查结果进行分析。
To investigate the characteristics of continuing medical education (CME) and continuing professional development (CPD) systems in China
the perceptions of health professionals regarding CME/CPD
and their views on the extent to which the current CME/CPD systems meet learning needs.
Methods
2
A questionnaire survey method was employed. The Chinese version of the global CME/CPD questionnaire developed by the Association for Medical Education in Europe was used to conduct an online survey of 2 951 health professionals across 32 provinces
autonomous regions
and municipalities directly under the central government in mainland China from 2020 to 2021. The survey results were analyzed using descriptive statistics
chi-square tests
and content analysis.
Results
2
Among the 2 951 respondents
internal medicine practitioners accounted for the highest proportion (664
22.50%)
and 2 050 (69.47%) of the respondents were located in the eastern region. In the past 12 months
1 489 (50.46%) respondents participated in 11-30 hours of CME/CPD
and 2 406 (81.53%) considered that the existing activities met their learning needs. There were statistically significant differences (
P
<
0.05) in the learning needs for CME/CPD
participation in educational training and interprofessional continuing education
and satisfaction with industry-supported CME/CPD among health professionals with different years of practice.
Conclusions
2
Health professionals in China have a high level of participation in CME/CPD. There are differences in their familiarity and satisfaction with the current systems. It is recommended to enhance the promotion of the CME/CPD systems
optimize the teaching content
improve education quality
and strengthen commercial interest regulation. These will better meet the learning needs of health professionals and promote high-quality development in medical education.
