However, busy, long working hours and movement frequently is the characteristic for physicians. Thus, the situation is inconvenience for physicians in participate the CME. Many studies indicated the time is the most important reason prevent the physicians attends the CME. The aim of this project was investigate whether the Mobile CME can provide the convenience and fast learning for physicians. In addition, the preference and acceptance of physicians in using Mobile CME was also investigated for provide the development of Mobile CME in the future. The study adopted three various Mobile CME media for research tools. Thirty six subjects involved in specialist physicians, resident physicians and internships who are all belong to a teaching hospital in North of Taiwan participated the project. The analytic results exhibited the physicians selected various way to participate the CME but not included the Mobile CME. Nevertheless, after contact Mobile CME, most physicians experience learning benefit, and significant enhance the willingness of use. Interestingly, senior physicians preferred text-based model of Mobile CME while junior physicians preferred interactive-based model. In media type of Mobile CME, the study also found no matter senior or junior physicians, all of them will recommend the multimedia type to other specialist physicians. However, senior and junior physicians had opposite opinion in using other media type of Mobile CME. Moreover, most subjects would reduce willingness in using Mobile CME if using them need to payment. Further, they thought pay for CME content has greater impact in willingness than pay for CME certification.
