[Continuing medical education and accreditation for excellence set up by the Italian Society of Occupational Health and Industrial Hygiene (SIMLII): results of a survey among members].
BACKGROUND
The SIMLII set up a program of continuous training and accreditation of postgraduate specialists in Occupational Health in 2000, before continuous medical training (ECM) was formally introduced. Therefore, especially over the past few years, SIMLII has involved its membership to an ever increasing extent, in an attempt to understand their expectations as regards the scientific community and as regards a continuously evolving discipline that is subject to continuous changes in educational requirements.


CONCLUSIONS
The self-administered questionnaire in a survey carried out in 2005 by the National Institute of Occupational Safety and Prevention (ISPESL), in collaboration with SLMLII, provided data that, besides identifying the type of activity of the membership, attempted to assess members' compliance with the society's initiatives, with special reference to the Programme for continuous training and accreditation of postgraduates in Occupational Health and the issue of Guidelines.
