The goal of Continuous Medical Education (CME) is to maintain and develop health professionals، knowledge، skill and performance. In this study، we reviewed the current stance of CME activities in the world. We searched Science Direct، Blackwell، Proquest، CINAHL and PubMed databases from January 2010 till May 2014 using the key words “Continuous Medical Education” and “Continuous Professional Development”. 57 articles were found from which 23 were included in the study. In this article we reviewed and introduced the concept and current stance of CME in European countries، practice-based CME، accreditation of CME programs، related challenges and proposed suggestions in the literature. CME is an ongoing professional learning process. This comprehensive approach is a point of focus in many developed and developing countries and there are various applied models. Determining appropriate model in Iran، needs further research.

E-learning in a manner to facilitate and promote learning by helping ICT based tools. The main objective of this study Comparison of knowledge and satisfaction of general practitioners participating in diabetes training courses by eLearning (offline) and the traditional education. This quasi-experimental research was performed on general practitioners who had participated in Diabetes continuous medical education (CME). All research cases (74 cases), after filling pre-test questionnaire randomly divided into two groups: one group of traditional practices and retraining in another group of e-learning methods were used. 2-4 weeks later, they filled a posttest questionnaire. The data gathering tool was the questionnaire which completed by the research samples. There was a significant correlation between pretest and posttest scores and the posttest scores were significantly more than the pretest ones in eLearning group (P<0.01). There was a significant correlation between the research sample's accessibility to computer and their satisfaction to eLearningapproach (P<0.03). Findings generally showed the e-learning was an effective approach to create deep andlasting learning in the participant of continuous medical education.
