title: [A model project on certification of continuous education by the Bavarian Chamber of Physicians].
abstract: Beginning with April 1st 1998 Bavarian physicians are invited to join a project on certification of continuing medical education on a voluntary basis. After a one year period, 1238 of practicing medical doctors (2.8%) received an official certificate on continuing medical education by the Bavarian Chamber of Physicians. In order to get the idea to certify postgraduate continuing medical education spread over the state of Bavaria, the Bavarian Chamber of Physicians takes every effort to support congress organizers to issue credit points. Customer oriented processes are applied as well as modern technologies such as bar-codes. The systematic approach to take part in continuing medical education as an important aspect of quality assurance in physician's profession reveals the chance to keep autonomy within the medical chambers.
