title: [Critique of continuing medical education from the viewpoint of participants. Results of an evaluation of didactic seminars of the Academy of Continuing and Graduate Medical Education of the Hessen Federal Association].
abstract: In cooperation with the chair of academy of vocational training and educational planning of the University of Technology Darmstadt the academy planned and realized a systematic evaluation concerning participants's opinion and criticism. A half-standardized questionnaire was developed, tested and applied according to the rules and recommendations of the German medical association. Between 9/94 and 11/98, feedback from 121 of the academy's seminars was received. Most seminars were judged positively in view of clarity and stimulation of thoughts while there was considerably less praise for the contribution of self-information and the possibilities of communicating and interacting. With regard to the lecture's practical relevance most seminars were judged positively. Media design and management was considered insufficient by most of the participants, as were time management and pre-information. The idea of examining the effect of learning was rejected by most of the students: Better media were desired, as were more case studies and literature references.
