Continuing medical education is one of the many challenges facing rural family physicians. In addition to the education needed for office practice, rural family physicians must develop and maintain a special knowledge base and technical skills applicable to their major hospital roles. This study of full-time rural family physicians' CME patterns and preferences illustrates how useful and enjoyable they find various CME options.
