Educational needs assessment is now commonly done preceding the development of continuing education programs. This study was undertaken to determine if useful information about public health physician continuing education preferences could be obtained from a standard needs assessment survey instrument. Initial results indicated a heterogeneous set of unordered preferences; however, a factor analysis suggested consistent sets of physician preferences on five factors. Nonlinear relationships were found to exist among preferences and size of service area.

Keywords: Educational needs assessment; course preference; population; factor analysis
