[Continuing should be a part of the clinical reality. Courage is required to see both the strong and the weak sides of the professional situation].
Continuing professional development (CPD) is a joint responsibility of the individual physician and the employer. CPD should focus on identification and documentation of the learning needs of the individual, based on professional demands. Reflection, feedback and evaluation of the results are central elements of the process. Efficient learning demands active participation; modern information technology is now becoming more widely available.
