Mandatory continuing education (MCE) has the potential to create unwilling learners who, if given a choice, may not participate in continuing education programs. Participants of two MCE programs conducted at a large teaching hospital responded to a survey assessing their perception of and attitudes toward MCE and their perceptions of program effectiveness. Results of the study indicated that mandating the programs did have adverse effects on participants' perceived outcomes and on the likelihood of their voluntarily attending future programs. Descriptions of the two programs, design and results of the study, and suggestions on how to approach mandatory programming are presented.
强制性继续教育（MCE）有可能造就不情愿的学习者，这些人若有选择，可能不会参加继续教育项目。在一家大型教学医院开展的两个MCE项目的参与者对一项调查做出了回应，该调查评估了他们对MCE的认知和态度以及对项目有效性的看法。研究结果表明，强制实施这些项目确实对参与者对结果的认知以及他们自愿参加未来项目的可能性产生了不利影响。本文介绍了这两个项目的描述、研究设计与结果，以及关于如何开展强制性项目的建议。
