Over many generations doctors have kept up to date in ways which reflect their own learning styles. The current fashion for formalised and policed continuing medical education may prove ineffective unless it is recognised that individual needs must be taken into account. Attendance at formal courses based on lectures and papers may not suit a large proportion of those who attend to acquire the necessary points to satisfy their royal college. The ability to show that health care teams are up to date should come from effective clinical audit, which should also identify local educational needs.
几代医生一直通过反映他们自身学习风格的方式来与时俱进。当前这种形式化且受监管的继续医学教育潮流可能被证明是无效的，除非认识到必须考虑个人需求。参加基于讲座和论文的正规课程可能并不适合很大一部分为了获得必要学分以满足皇家医学院要求而参加的人。证明医疗团队与时俱进的能力应该来自有效的临床审计，临床审计也应该确定当地的教育需求。
