Significance of Continuing Medical Education for Doctors
Doctors are the well respected and important people in any society and it would not be
wrong to call them a key link between you and great health. A doctor is very important for
the well being of people. They are the people who many a times stand between you and the
end of the world. If you give a little thought to this then you will understand the importance
of a doctor in your life. We are surrounded by parasites, fungi, viruses etc, and we do not
know which of these will attack our body and when. When we are in any problem, the
doctors stand like knights, forming a first line of defense to provide us all possible
protection.
On a whole, we can say that the profession of this lifesaver is very important and quite
complicated. The hard work they have to put in to obtain the degree of doctorate does not
stop after post graduation. They have to keep themselves well informed all the time, thus
medical education, or more precisely the continuing medical education, becomes quite
important for them. In today’s world new health issues are popping up everywhere, and
doctors have to keep themselves well informed to prepare themselves to fight with these,
and the continuing medical education actually does this.
To make it more clearly what actually this continuing medical education is, let us put it like
this. Every day new changes in terms of medicine, surgeries etc are coming to market. These
new challenges make it important for a doctor to stay updated all the time, and this can be
achieved by continuing their medical education. For example, there are a number of
problems which about 40 years back could not be diagnosed, so there were no treatments
for that diseases. But now, thanks to the technology, even minute problems of your body
can be diagnosed and treated. If a doctor with an experience of 20-30 years is not keeping
up with the medical education, then he or she is not familiar with the new development and
definitely will take the wrong decision of treatment for you.
This is a profession where learning never stops, and even doctors cannot afford to do that.
They have to keep themselves updated in the medical field as you never know when a new
development will come out from which part of the world, which can actually be effective in
treating various diseases. Reading journals or attending conferences is also a part of
continuing medical education, as this keeps doctors updated.
However, with so much work, when they hardly get time the continuing medical education
is sometimes ignored, but its importance cannot be neglected. Because of this, in some
countries it is now important for the doctors spend some designated hours for continuing
medical education every year, in order to maintain their license. This gives knowledge to the
doctor and a surety to the patient that his life is in the right hands, as the doctor is familiar
with all the latest procedures required to save the patient.
