  • Marietjie de Villiers SA Academy of Family Practice/Primary Care

Abstract

Continuing professional development came into the lives of South Africa's medical practitioners in 1999. Now that it is established in our, and a good number of other health professions, it is perhaps a good time for reflection. Is CPD a model or a monster, an idea before its time, or maybe the saving grace of the medical profession?
