New York County physicians were surveyed by questionnaire concerning their attitudes and practices regarding continuing medical education (CME). There were 1,558 responders, and they included those practicing in shared health facilities (SHF) and random samples of academicians on the faculties of the four medical schools and of the entire physician population of Manhattan. Reading professional books and journals was regarded as by far the most important CME activity by all three groups of physicians, and this activity consumed about four hours per week. All physicians spent several days and often as much as two weeks per year attending professional meetings and formal postgraduate courses. The former were rated as not very useful and the latter as quite useful for CME. Major impediments to CME participation for all groups were time away from home and practice, expense, loss of income, and scheduling problems. Relevance, quality, and organization of CME courses were not major impediments. SHF physicians differed little from other physicians in their attitudes, perceptions, and practices concerning CME.
通过问卷调查的方式，对纽约县的医生就他们对继续医学教育（CME）的态度和做法进行了调查。共有1558名受访者，其中包括在共享医疗设施（SHF）工作的医生，以及来自四所医学院教职员工中的院士随机样本和曼哈顿全体医生群体。阅读专业书籍和期刊被所有三组医生视为迄今为止最重要的继续医学教育活动，这项活动每周花费约四个小时。所有医生每年都要花几天时间，甚至常常多达两周时间参加专业会议和正规的研究生课程。前者被认为对继续医学教育用处不大，而后者则被认为对继续医学教育相当有用。所有群体参与继续医学教育的主要障碍是离家和离开工作岗位的时间、费用、收入损失以及日程安排问题。继续医学教育课程的相关性、质量和组织并非主要障碍。在继续医学教育的态度、认知和做法方面，共享医疗设施的医生与其他医生几乎没有差别。
