Abstract
More than 90 percent of Norwegian doctors are members of the Norwegian Medical Association (NMA). NMA is given the responsibility for specialist training and CME by the government. Course accreditation is carried out by Specialty Committees within NMA, one for each of the 43 recognized specialties. NMA is defining standards for specialist training and CME. Because of the educational funds that it receives, NMA is able to offer all necessary courses and a number of other educational activities without support from the pharmaceutical industry. Within this educational framework, there is increased emphasis on quality assurance of medical education and a shift toward more group-based training. To prepare our doctors for future challenges in a rapidly changing working environment, we are focusing more on the needs of doctors as individual learners. A great deal of energy has been focused on training doctors as counselors and mentors, enabling them to enhance the educational and emotional growth of students, residents, and peers.
