Abstract
As physicians, we enter a profession that gives us the responsibility and privilege of studying our fellow man for life. How long does it take to educate a physician? That long. Continuing education for the family physician is that learning process which goes on constantly following the completion of formalized medical education. It may be experiential or theoretical, formal or casual, conscious or unconscious. Whatever its mode, it requires inquisitiveness, concern, and awareness of our patients’ needs and our abilities to meet them.
