title: The provision of CME meetings for physicians.
abstract: 1. A large number of meetings on a wide variety of topics are available for a majority of consultant physicians. 2. Many meetings consist of lectures or presentations; more diverse and participatory learning methods are required. 3. The pharmaceutical industry provides sponsorship for 45% of all meetings, much more in some medical specialties. 4. It should be possible and easy to obtain information about approved educational events from a WEB page.
