在全球范围内，持续专业发展制度差别很大。在日本，日本医学会（JMA）负责为其专业执业医生确定内容和开发教育。日本医学协会对继续医学教育活动参与率持续偏低表示关切，并希望更好地了解根本原因。这项分析将提供一个机会，根据执业临床医生的需要调整其方案。日本医学协会聘请了一家全球教育提供商对其继续医学教育计划进行独立分析。使用混合方法的方法，教育提供者进行了在线调查（N = 338），并举行了两个面对面的焦点小组（N = 24），以更好地了解医生的专业实践的观点。在线调查发送给了日本全国7，000多名执业医生。受访者反映了各种医疗和外科专业和长度在临床实践中。他们描述了影响或阻碍参加日协赞助的教育的因素。受访者还建议改变日本目前的继续医学教育模式，并表示将继续致力于终身学习，实现日本2035年医疗保健愿景中提出的目标：通过健康引领世界。在全球范围内，医学协会面临着发展教育以满足多样化医生队伍需求的挑战。提高对医生成员观点的理解，并与专业协会开展合作，可能是提高质量和满足医疗保健人群需求的一项战略。从这一分析中吸取的教训可能有助于其他面临类似挑战的医学协会。
Globally, CPD systems vary widely. In Japan, the Japanese Medical Association (JMA) is responsible for identifying content and developing education for its speciality practice physicians. The JMA was concerned about persistent low levels of participation in its CME activities and wanted to better understand the root causes. The analysis would provide an opportunity to restructure its programme informed by the needs of its practising clinicians. The JMA engaged a global education provider to conduct an independent analysis of its CME programme. Using a mixed-methods approach, the education provider conducted an on-line survey (N = 338) and held two in-person focus groups (N = 24) to better understand the perspectives of physicians in speciality practice. The on-line survey was sent to over 7,000 practising physicians throughout Japan. Respondents reflected a variety of medical and surgical specialities and length in clinical practice. They described factors that influenced or were barriers to participation in JMA-sponsored education. Respondents also suggested changes to the current model of CME in Japan and expressed an ongoing commitment to life-long learning and achieving the goals set forth in Japan’s vision for health care in 2035:Leading the World Through Health. Globally, medical associations are challenged with developing education that meets the needs of a diverse physician workforce. Improved understanding of the perspectives of its physician members and implementation of collaborations with speciality societies may be one strategy to improve quality and address healthcare population needs. Lessons learned from this analysis may help other medical associations with similar challenges.
