JF - British Journal of General Practice JO - Br J Gen Pract SP - 249 LP - 253 VL - 43 IS - 371 AU - A al-Shehri AU - I Stanley AU - P Thomas Y1 - 1993/06/01 UR - http://bjgp.org/content/43/371/249.abstract N2 - Prompted by evidence that the recently-adopted arrangements for ongoing education among established general practitioners are unsatisfactory, the first of a pair of papers examined the theoretical basis of continuing education for general practice and proposed a model of self-directed learning in which the experience of established practitioners is connected, through the media of reading, reflection and audit, with competence for the role. In this paper a practical, systematic approach to self-directed learning by general practitioners is described based on the model. The contribution which appropriate participation in continuing medical education can make to enhancing learning from experience is outlined. ER -
