CME/CPD The quality of patient care is dependent not only on the quality of training but also CME and CPD upon completion of postgraduate training. The longest time in a doctor's career is the time following specialization. Hans Perrild, Department of Endocrinology I
CME/CPD The key message in UEMS is that CME-CPD is a moral and ethical obligation to doctors. The medical directives of the EU have mainly been concerned with basic medical education and postgraduate training. The EU has not demanded any mandatory system of CME-CPD in Europe. Hans Perrild, Department of Endocrinology I
CME Survey result (1) Voluntary Mandatory 13/17 4/17 2003 13/31 18/31 2014 13/31 18/31 2017 13/31 18/31 2018 13/31 18/31 2019 14/33 19/33 2020 14/33 19/33 2021 14/33 19/33 2022 15/34 19/34 2023 15/35 20/35 2024 Hans Perrild, Department of Endocrinology I
CME Survey result (2) In a majority of the countries doctors collect CME points Seventeen of the 20 countries with mandatory CME/CPD use points as a means of collecting information on progress. In one country no points are collected but one accredited CPD event is demanded Hans Perrild, Department of Endocrinology I
CME Survey result (3) Most countries request the collection of 50 CME points/year and acknowledge EACCME credit points. In many countries, the CME points/events are collected by the doctors either on paper certificates, electronically or, in some, logged onto a personal portfolio Hans Perrild, Department of Endocrinology I
CME Survey result (4) CME/CPD in many countries is organised by the professional organization. Thus far, only 2 UEMS countries have introduced the idea of examination for CME/CPD. Financing is an ongoing challenge. Hans Perrild, Department of Endocrinology I
