As we are aware, academic learnering and clinical learning are not the same. How do we as academic/clinical practitioners promote continued education in the clinical arena?
In the United States, there are requirements for practitioners to complete a minimum number of CE (continuing education) credits. Are these requirements sufficient to ensure clinical knowledge is "current"?
Is there a better way?
I think you set a very good question!
Why?
You are absolutely right when you say that it is not the same clinical and academic education!
Clinical education in my opinion is more related to professional education related to patient and bed in hospital!
These include certain specializations such as surgery, internal, infectology or type subspecialization, neurosurgeon, chest surgery, haematology, nephrology etc. There is a doctor or candidate trained after completing and completing a specialist self-assessment exam and having a professional knowledge reference He can independently work independently to answer the law if he accidentally makes a mistake of malpractice .... that's the first part of my attempt to answer, to your question of interest!

The second part of my experiment answers how I see academic education and why this is not the same with vocational education although both are called the same medical education!
Professional education is mainly related to a patient and a bed!
The academic does not have to be bound to the bed or the patient, and it may well be!
Why?
If a problem is investigated at an academic level, labs or samples of blood, seum, urine, liquids, for example and on that sample may be used for testing, of course using administrative data from the history of the disease as it is necessary and statistically to process the sample!
Also, experimental animals can also be used in laboratories!
You can also enroll in a postgraduate study or doctoral study where you will gain theoretical knowledge of certain areas of the methodology of writing and researching the scientific research work!
When the candidate completes this study, can he or she lead the patient independently? Mainly because there is no vocational education and vice versa, does a candidate who has professional knowledge can write some original work or an original scientific project successfully on the basis of the methodology of scientific work? Objective hard! Because in one and the other case, one of these education misses!
What's the best way, that's your main question?
It is best for the candidate to conclude both courses simultaneously and in parallel, and then it can be said that he has both professional and academic education, ie he is a legally qualified practitioner in both of these most important medical fields!
And the third part of my answer from my own experience to glance it:
I worked for many years in many Western European countries (Austria (Wien), Germany, (Hamburg and Lubeck), UK (London), USA (Bufallo General Hospital, NY, Yale School of Medicine - Yale New Haven, CT) and I think I've compiled my best experience from the state and put it to try my answer to your exellent question!
@Jasenko Karamehic, your response contains several valid points. You surely exemplify a well rounded and in depth educational (clinical and academic) experience. The question remains, "what method should be used to ensure the practitioners are current in their field?"
Thank you for your contribution to this discussion.
