What is Interactive on-line continuing medical education: Physicians' perceptions and experiences about?
## Introduction: Although research in continuing medical education (CME) demonstrates positive outcomes of on-line CME programs, the effectiveness of and learners' satisfaction with interpersonal interaction in on-line CME are lowel: Defined as faculty-learner or learner-learner interpersonal interaction, this study explores physicians' perceptions of and experiences in interactive on-line CME and factors influencing these. Methods: Focus groups and interviews were undertaken by three Canadian universities. Using purposive sampling, we recruited physicians based on their experiences with interactive on-line CME. Content analysis was appliedfirst, followed by a comparative analysis to confirm themes and findings. ## Results: Physicians based their perceptions of interactive on-line CME by comparing it with what they know best, face-to-face CME. Although perceptions about access and technical competency remained important, two other themes emerged. The first was the capacity of on-line CME to meet individual learning preferences, which, in turn, was influenced by the quality of the program, the degree of selfpacing or selj-direction, opportunity for reflection, and educational design
