A qualitative study using semistructured interviews was done to assess the changes
family physicians had made to their continuing education as a result of the introduction of a
compulsory recertification program. A minority had increased the time they had spent on edu-cation.
However, there were marked changes in the types of educational activities selected and
many had become more focused on selecting activities to meet their educational needs.
