When I was at med school 7 years ago we were told for years. I thought it was just a way of saying that medical knowledge increases so quickly, but then whilst I was there we had: - Total change in how we manage chest pain/heart attacks (moving from previous full/partial thickness infarction to STEMI/NSTEMI and totally revising treatment algorithms - Introduction of ipilumimab for melanoma (changed metastatic melanoma from a condition with 6 month average survival to 5 years/chronic disease - Introduction of cure for help c (previously followed the rule of 20 and it was a chronic disease) - Total revision of food pyramid - Multitude others I believe 4-6 years. So much changes, without CPD/CME you are useless.
