Is participation in research as an investigator an effective form of continuing medical education?
Continuing medical education and research are a daily necessity for general practitioners (GPs). This study investigated the possibility that participation in research is an effective form of continuing medical education. Although there was an indication that some modification of GPs' knowledge and skills had occurred, it was not possible to conclude that this was entirely due to participation in research.
