Doctors rate clinical relevance and applicability as the most important determinants of continuing professional development (CPD) course selection. This study examined patterns of current CPD practice and perceived CPD needs among hospital doctors in Ireland across various clinical specialties. A cross-sectional survey was administered to doctors, focusing on the areas of training needs analysis, CPD course content and preferred course format. In total, 547 doctors identified doctor-patient communication as the skill ranked highest for importance and level of current performance. Workload/time organisation and stress management were areas where a skills deficiency was identified. Non-clinical CPD topics, including resilience training, management and communication skills, were preferred areas for future CPD offerings. All respondents favoured interactive, hands-on sessions. CPD course completion and preference patterns differed significantly across clinical specialties. These results highlight the importance of considering the individual needs and preferences of clinicians across clinical specialties to facilitate more effective CPD programmes.
医生们将临床相关性和适用性视为继续职业发展（CPD）课程选择的最重要决定因素。本研究调查了爱尔兰各临床专科医院医生当前的CPD实践模式和感知到的CPD需求。对医生进行了横断面调查，重点关注培训需求分析、CPD课程内容和首选课程形式等领域。共有547名医生将医患沟通列为重要性和当前表现水平排名最高的技能。工作量/时间管理和压力管理是被认定存在技能不足的领域。包括恢复力培训、管理和沟通技能在内的非临床CPD主题是未来CPD课程的首选领域。所有受访者都喜欢互动式的实践课程。CPD课程的完成情况和偏好模式在各临床专科之间存在显著差异。这些结果凸显了考虑各临床专科临床医生的个人需求和偏好以促进更有效的CPD项目的重要性。
