[Continuing medical education from the view of ambulatory care physicians--representative outcomes and needs in Bremen and Saxony-Anhalt].
To study the habits of ambulatory care physicians in CME, and to investigate the motivating and negative experiences with different types of CME in Germany. ⋯ Regionally performed surveys are able to guide the planning of CME about habits, wants and needs of the target group and may increase the attendance as well as the involvement. Motivating as well as critical experiences of the participants should be regarded more rigorously in the planning. Consideration can increase the quality and the impact of CME. This applies the more, when certification of the quality of CME and of individual CME-efforts are planned. This article will be followed in one of the next issues by a second from the same survey focusing on the attitudes of ambulatory care physicians towards quality improvement and their intentions to join quality circles (peer review groups).
