- Continuing Professional Development: Supporting the Complex Role of Today's PhysicianWhicker, Shari A.; Nagler, Alisa (IGI Global, 2020)Continuing professional development is a critical responsibility within the complex role of today's physician. This chapter provides an overview of continuing professional development for physicians. The authors propose self-determination theory (SDT) as a foundational framework for discussing physician continuing professional development. They also address a variety of motivating factors for physicians being involved in continuing professional development. These factors include regulatory requirements, continued competence, career planning, and their own commitment to learn. Lastly, the authors include a discussion of various continuing professional development formats and the benefits of each, as well as challenges and barriers to effective continuing education.

In the United States, successful completion of GME is essential for board certification in one of over 140 recog-nized specialties. The Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) is the accreditor for over 10,000 programs.

Virtually all program directors remain clinically and academically productive.
