From today’s perspective, continuing medical education and continuing professional development (CME/CPD) is a professional and even ethical obligation of all physicians and health professionals, with the aim to constantly revise and add to their knowledge after the completion of their formal education. It comprises forms of graduate education and training that take place outside institutionalized forms of postgraduate education.  CME/CPD courses are offered to general practitioners, physicians on residency training, specialists and other professionals involved in the delivery of health care. The majority of courses organized under the auspices of the Zagreb School of Medicine are structured in such a way as to express their professional educational value through a system of credits attributed to them as regards to objectives addressed, such as the acquisition of specific skills or revision of knowledge previously acquired. The most common forms of CME/CPD comprise lectures, workshops, seminars, consultations, clinical conferences, rounds, as well as modalities of computer-aided education (e-learning).  CME/CPD courses are designed to provide most up to date information and treatment strategies indispensable for practicing physicians from all areas of medicine, ranging from molecular medicine to the most recent aspects of clinical diagnostics and treatment. The organization of courses is governed by the Regulations on Postgraduate Studies and Continuing Medical Education. The accredited courses scheduled for the coming year are advertised at the end of the current academic year by means of special editions and poster communications, as well as by available forms of electronic media. In the last few years the Zagreb School of Medicine has been organizing approximately 360 CME courses per year, whereas more than 150 courses, offered within the PhD program in biomedicine and health, can be attended as CME/CPD courses.
