The study will include all PHC physicians registered in health sectors of Abha and Khamis Musheet cities, Aseer Region. The physicians will be invited to attend a CE program. All participants will fill out a questionnaire before and after the intervention. The change in knowledge and attitudes of the participants will be measured at the end of the program. After 4 months, the practice of physicians will be assessed through retrospective review of patient's files.
Impact:
Education programs could positively influence the knowledge, beliefs and attitudes of healthcare workers toward a high quality of diabetes care, which in turn plays a major role in improving clinical outcomes.
