title: [The 6 top-selling prescription drugs--an interactive evidence-based CME module for GPs on pharmacotherapy].
abstract: BACKGROUND
  The Bremen General Practitioner's Association developed an interactive education tool about top-selling drugs in the GP setting.
  
  
  METHODS
  The data on various high-priced drugs identified by systematic literature search were processed by small work groups during several training courses for general practitioners and the results presented in plenary sessions.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The training courses were systematically evaluated and enhanced.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  This is a well developed concept for the implementation of clinical evidence in the context of general practice.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  There will be a randomized controlled trial about the effect of this educational concept on the prescription behavior of general practitioners.
