Results: The survey showed that 91.9% of the respondents completed their CME courses. 48.1% considered CME necessary through inefficient in the way it carried out. 37.0% of those who did not complete their CME requirements replied that they see CME as unnecessary. Regarding overall satisfaction with hosting organizations, academic societies were given 3.50/ 5.00, medical universities and hospitals 3.40/5.00, and medical associations 3.16/5.00.
