We surveyed 200 Canadian physicians about their preferences towards various sources of continuing health education and then looked at how they varied based on generational differences. While older physicians are more reliant on in-person CHE events for information, younger physicians are almost as equally likely to rely on online medical/peer-reviewed journal articles.
Older physicians are most reliant on in-person CHE events for information and younger physicians are almost as equally likely to rely on online medical/peer-reviewed journal articles.
Thinking ahead, younger physicians prefer educational programs delivered through discussions with peers or key opinion leaders, and via online or peer-reviewed publications over in-person CHE events. Overall preference for online CHE is similar for younger and older physicians. However, younger physicians tend to prefer a format that they can listen to on their own schedule whereas older physicians prefer live online events.
