The actual and preferred methods of continuing medical education (CME) on diabetes were determined from a telephone survey of a stratified random sample of over 600 primary care physicians in Pennsylvania. A response rate of 73% was obtained. Journal articles were identified as the leading source of information that affected practice behavior related to diabetes. However, no single journal was read by a majority of physicians, and information provided in diabetes journals reached fewer than 10% of primary care physicians. Local educational programs and programs offered by hospitals were the preferred choices for continuing medical education. When reported patterns of care for diabetic patients were compared with published standards of care, no statistical differences were found between physicians who had and physicians who had not attended a CME course. To be most effective, CME courses should be intensive and may need to be presented locally to reach the widest possible audience.
通过对宾夕法尼亚州600多名基层医疗医生的分层随机样本进行电话调查，确定了糖尿病继续医学教育（CME）的实际方法和首选方法。获得了73%的回复率。期刊文章被确定为影响糖尿病相关实践行为的主要信息来源。然而，大多数医生没有阅读同一本期刊，糖尿病期刊提供的信息覆盖不到10%的基层医疗医生。当地教育项目和医院提供的项目是继续医学教育的首选。当将报告的糖尿病患者护理模式与已公布的护理标准进行比较时，参加过CME课程的医生和未参加过CME课程的医生之间没有发现统计学差异。为了达到最佳效果，CME课程应该密集进行，可能需要在当地举办，以覆盖尽可能广泛的受众。
