摘要：Background: As professionals, fam.ly physicians are obliged to rem.in current on advances and trends in m.dicine and health care delivery. This is usually achieved through engagem.nt in continuing professional developm.nt. Instructional design is a system.tic m.thod of developm.nt of education and training program. for im.roved learner perform.nce. ADDIE is an instructional system. design m.del for building effective education and training in five phases: analysis, design, developm.nt, im.lem.ntation and evaluation. Purpose: The purpose of this study was to introduce a professional developm.nt program.for prim.ry care physicians using the ADDIE instructional design m.del. m.thods: Program.requirem.nts were defined using a needs assessm.nt questionnaire and consultation observations. Interactive sessions were designed and developed based on the analysis results. The sessions were evaluated with interim.and final feedback form., a final problem.based questionnaire, a self-assessm.nt questionnaire, and focus groups. Results: Scores on the final knowledge assessm.nt were lower than expected. However, at least 50% of participants self-reported their learning im.rovem.nt as “great” for 16 out of 23 topics. Focus group feedback was generally positive but also identified areas for im.rovem.nt. Conclusion: Applying a structured instructional design m.del for creating professional developm.nt program.for physicians is a fruitful, relevant experience in prim.ry healthcare. 1) Continuing professional developm.nt (CPD) is an essential m.thod to help physicians m.intain and further develop knowledge and expertise;2) The ADDIE (analysis, design, developm.nt, im.lem.ntation, evaluation) m.del provides an established and useful structure for creating effective CPD program.;3) The ADDIE process ensures that physicians’ appropriate learning needs are m.t effectively;4) The evaluation phase of the ADDIE process provides feedback that can lead to im.rovem.nt in the CPD program.s future
