Continuing Professional Development Integration of Formal CME and Quality Improvement Initiatives
Conclusion	Previous    Contents    Next

A doctor's desire to be more competent in delivery of health care is the most important motivating factor for continuous learning and change. It is a prerequisite for achieving any improvements. Every doctor has a personal responsibility to participate in continuing professional development programmes, consisting of both formal CME and QI procedures.

Continuing Professional Development requires a planned integration of formal CME and QI initiatives. This will set the conditions to facilitate improvement in the process of day-to-day medical care.

This policy document shows the conditions and characteristics for such integration.
