In February 2005, the Annals of Internal Medicine, a highly respected journal, published a systematic review of 59 manuscripts covering a total of 62 samples that reported on the relationship between medical knowledge/healthcare quality and years in practice/physician age. The implication of the data presented is that throughout their careers, physicians fail to upgrade their knowledge to keep pace with new information. I strongly believe that an important-if not the most important-component of continuing education relevant to clinical practice is accessing and reading the literature of this profession and related disciplines.
