Objective:To understand the medical staff continuing education content and requirements through investigating both doctors and patients, and provide the evidence for the adjustment of the content of continuing medical education. Methods: We distributed the questionnaires to medical staff and patients to understand what the medical staffs want to learn, and what patients expect medical staff to be. By comparing and analyzing, we proposed suggestions on the adjustment of continuing medical education content. Results: We found that 100% of the medical staff has the desire to take part in continuing medical education. In addition to professional skills, the communication skills, psychology knowledge, service etiquette, and management knowledge were most important components of continuing medical education. 96.3% of the patients’ attitude toward continuing education was approving. Conclusion: Medical staffs should take part in continuing medical education during the whole career life. The contents of continuing medical education should be extended to some other areas. Medical staffs should improve their service levels to meet the increasing needs of medical services and construct the harmonious doctor?-patient relationship by lifelong continuing medical education, including the medical humanities.
