Abstract:
1)Continuing medical education (CME) systems were researched in 10 countries. In all countries but one CME is mandatory. Only Spain has voluntary CME, as does Japan.
2)The traditional CME systems in many countries were changed after 2000. We believe this change reflects a global revolution associated with a new wave of medical risk management.
3)To provide better medical services, we must keep improving Japan's CME system. Such improvement is an important responsibility to society.
