Abstract

This study examines the impact of continuing education on physician performance within hospital institutions in Constantine, Algeria. A descriptive research design was adopted, and data were collected through a structured questionnaire administered to a sample of 322 physicians. The collected data were analyzed using SPSS (Version 21), employing statistical techniques such as t-tests and regression analysis. The findings reveal a statistically significant positive relationship between continuing education and physician performance. However, the study also highlights notable limitations in financial and material resources allocated to continuing education programs, alongside generally average levels of Continuing Medical Education (CME) engagement and physician performance.
