KISS, say GPs

General practitioners prefer a simple criterion model for revalidation. Bruce and colleagues (p 687) compared two models of revalidation for general practitioners: a simpler criterion model and an educational outcome model combining revalidation with continuing professional development. Although the criterion model was preferred by general practitioners and can be implemented more easily, both models helped to change doctors' practice and helped make them better doctors. Doctors will require support from their colleagues and trainers to work through either model completely.
