title: The general practitioner and continuing education.
abstract: A continuing education program for the general practitioner is presented that would provide a degree or certificate of advanced status on completion. This long-term program would be made possible by giving credit hours for continuing education courses taken, then redeeming these credits for the certificate or degree on completion. The dentist's choice in continuing education programs is protected because he can choose between programs with or without objectives, and programs that are tailored to his interests.
