The occupational health context differs from the clinical context or primary health care because OPs must,
next to medical issues, consider the working situations
of their patients, management priorities and legislation.
Another barrier for e-learning in CME in occupational
health care could be that OPs are not frequently using the
Internet for obtaining information [5]. The aim of this
study, therefore, was to evaluate the effect of e-learning
on knowledge gain as compared to regular lecture-based
learning in a CME programme on mental health care
for OPs.
