Resumo
Provavelmente, a mais importante obrigação na carreira dum especialista é a de se manter actualizado científica e profissionalmente. Mas o cumprimento desta obrigação não recai só sobre o médico. As instituições de ensino médico e de desenvolvimento profissional também têm um papel crucial a desempenhar, facultando oportunidades de educação contínua e garantindo que o especialista desenvolva um número suficiente de acções contínuas que promovam o seu desenvolvimento profissional. A actualização do conhecimento médico e desenvolvimento profissional são tarefas que nos acompanham a vida interia. A necessidade e a obrigação de aprender e melhorar o desempenho profissional diz respeito aos médicos de todas as faixas etárias e todos os níveis hierárquicos.
This article provides detailed definitions of Continuing Medical Education (CME) and Continuing Professional Development (CPD) and discusses the credit system currently being used to record, monitor and promote activities in CME/CPD. CME, which involves the acquisition of knowledge transmitted by others or through self-study, is aimed at practicing physicians who need to keep abreast of the constant stream of new developments that are relevant and essential to medical practice. CPD involves maintaining, perfecting and developing one's medical skills through practice and the execution of procedures required in exercising one's profession. The voluntary credit accumulation system discussed, recognized throughout Europe, ascribes credits for CME/CPD activities undertaken and allows physicians to effectively manage their life-long, life-time learning while promoting the harmonization of medical education throughout the European Union.
