Abstract
To determine whether continuing medical education affects the quality of clinical care, we randomly allocated 16 Ontario family physicians to receive or not receive continuing-education packages covering clinical problems commonly confronted in general practice. Over 4500 episodes of care, provided before and after the program of continuing education, were compared with preset clinical criteria and classified according to quality.This publication has 5 references indexed in Scilit:
