简介：对最新和高质量的继续医学教育（CME）的需求正在增长，而对CME的财政投资正在萎缩。尽管在线技术具有向大量用户有效提供电子CME（eCME）的潜力，但它尚未取代传统CME。本研究的目的是探讨医疗服务提供者想要在eCME和他们想要如何使用it. Methods：这是一个定性研究。与学术和社区实践的医生以及了解高血压临床实践指南并愿意讨论eCME的受训者举行了两个3小时的焦点小组。内容/专题分析用于检查数据。结果：出现了三个主要主题：可信度，内容/上下文和控制。信誉是最一致和最主要的主题。与医疗组织的联系和认证被认为是eCME获得信誉的方法。内容和对内容的讨论需求成为eCME和传统CME之间的关键支点：更大的讨论需求与对传统面对面CME的偏好有关。对内容的控制和如何访问是一个新兴的主题，使学习者能够控制学习的深度和花费的时间。他们看重的是能够快速找到最适合他们当时学习需求或偏好的格式（播客、视频、移动终端）的信息。讨论：本研究提供了深入了解医生的偏好eCME和假设，可用于指导进一步的研究。
Introduction: The need for up‐to‐date and high‐quality continuing medical education (CME) is growing while the financial investment in CME is shrinking. Despite online technology's potential to efficiently deliver electronic CME (eCME) to large numbers of users, it has not yet displaced traditional CME. The purpose of this study was to explore what health care providers want in eCME and how they want to use it. Methods: This was a qualitative study. Two 3‐hour focus groups were held with physicians in both academic and community practices as well as trainees knowledgeable in the hypertension clinical practice guidelines with a willingness to discuss eCME. Content/thematic analysis was used to examine the data. Results: Three main themes emerged: credibility, content/context, and control. Credibility was the most consistent and dominant theme. Affiliations with medical organizations and accreditation were suggested as methods by which eCME can gain credibility. The content and need for discussion of the content emerged as a key pivot point between eCME and traditional CME: a greater need for discussion was linked to a preference for traditional face‐to‐face CME. Control over the content and how it was accessed was an emergent theme, giving learners the ability to control the depth of learning and the time spent. They valued the ability to quickly find information that was in a format (podcast, video, mobile device) that best suited their learning needs or preferences at the time. Discussion: This study provides insight into physician preferences for eCME and hypotheses that can be used to guide further research.
