Objective: Medical education is a lifelong process of learning. In this sense, continuing medical education starts after graduation from the faculty of medicine and continues until the end of the end of one’s medical career. In this study, we prepared a questionnaire form in order to find out in which activities related to scientific and continuing medical education activities. specialists working in secondary health care hospitals took part. Methods: We gave a 25 item questionnaire to 120 specialists working in Kars State Hospital, Muş State Hospital and Bingöl State Hospital so as to find out which activities they participated in with regard to continuing medical education during and after their residentship. Results: When we analyzed the career plans of the specialists who took part in our study, we found out that 50% of them consider being an academician and 23% working in private hospitals. Only 3.3% of them preferred to specialize in a subspecialty. Only 16.7% of the specialists participated in a scientific study apart from their thesis during their internship. Whereas 2.23% of them attended regularly to scientific meeting during during residentship, and many specialists didn’t attend a regular scientific meeting in a foreign country during that time. In one year, 1.3% of the specialists attended regular scientific meetings in Turkey, and only 0.2% of them attended regularly to regular scientific meetings organized abroad during the period of specialization. Conclusion: According to the results we obtained, increase in continuing medical education activities and scientific researches performed by specialists working in secondary health care hospitals in Eastern Anatolian Region compared with their residentship process are outstanding. However we consider that the participation in proficiency exams will increase and inadequacy of certification programs will be eliminated by the promotions and the facilities provided by medical associations.
