Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To explore the needs of obstetricians and gynecologists with different working years for the contents and forms of CME. METHODS: The online questionnaire was distributed on the largest academic training platform for obstetrics and gynecology in China from April 2020 to May 2020. The survey contents mainly included the training forms and training contents of CME, as well as the mastery of diseases by doctors with different working years. RESULTS: 4458 questionnaires were returned, of which 3954 questionnaires were included in the study. There was a significant (p < 0.001) positive correlation between the mastery of 19 diseases by obstetricians and gynecologists with different working years. After adjusting for specialist departments, hospital grades, nature of units and ages, it was found that there was no statistically significant difference between the groups in gynecological endocrine-related diseases, such as precocious puberty/delayed puberty, and there was also no statistically significant difference between the groups of shorter working years in infertility, menopausal syndrome, hyperprolactinemia and premature ovarian failure. CONCLUSION: The most popular training content for obstetricians and gynecologists with different working years is common gynecological endocrine diseases, of which abnormal uterine bleeding, menopausal syndrome, polycystic ovarian syndrome and cervical lesions are the most selected diseases, and the most popular form of training is online.
