Abstract
Continuing professional development (CPD) is receiving increasing attention in South Africa. The introduction of recertification based on a system of obligatory CPD by the
Health Professions Council of South Africa has precipitated a flurry of activity in the CPD arena, especially in terms of providing CPD. However, despite the fact that the assessment
of learning needs has a positive influence on the outcome of CPD not much has been done in South Africa to assess the real, perceived and expressed educational needs of doctors.
