Attending formal course-based learning forms a major part of continuing professional development for physiotherapists. There is a vast array of formal courses available to physiotherapists each holding the tantalising prospect of improving knowledrge, skills and patient outcomes. However, educational evidence suggests that, while participation in traditionally organised workshops and conferences improves knowledge and practice behaviours of the individual attendee, there is no corollary improvement in patient outcomes. This paper discusses reasons why formal course-based learning has yet to be successful at improving the patient outcomes of those who participate. Suggestions and strategies for reconceptualising this aspect of continuing professional development are provided.
参加基于课程的正规学习是物理治疗师持续专业发展的主要组成部分。物理治疗师可以选择大量的正规课程，每一门课程都有着提升知识、技能和改善患者治疗效果的诱人前景。然而，教育证据表明，虽然参加传统组织的研讨会和会议能提高个体参与者的知识和实践行为，但患者的治疗效果并没有相应改善。本文讨论了基于课程的正规学习尚未成功改善参与者患者治疗效果的原因。并提供了重新构想持续专业发展这一方面的建议和策略。
