Abstract：
UNASSIGNED: Continuous professional development (CPD) is an important pillar in healthcare service delivery. Health professionals at all levels and disciplines must continuously update their knowledge and skills to cope with increasing professional demands in the context of a continuously changing spectrum of diseases. This study aimed to assess the CPD programs available in healthcare facilities (HFs) in Rwanda.
UNASSIGNED: Semi-structured interviews were conducted using purposive sampling. Accordingly, the respondents belonged to different categories of health professionals, namely nurses, midwives, laboratory technicians, pharmacists, general practitioners, and specialist doctors. Thirty-five participants from district, provincial, and national referral hospitals were interviewed between September and October 2020. A thematic analysis was conducted using Atlas ti.7.5.18, and the main findings for each theme were reported as a narrative summary.
UNASSIGNED: The CPD program was reported to be available, but not for all HPs and HFs, because of either limited access to online CPD programs or limited HF leaders. Where available, CPD programs have sometimes been reported to be irrelevant to health professionals and patients\' needs. Furthermore, the planning and implementation of current CPD programs seldom involves beneficiaries. Some HFs do not integrate CPD programs into their daily activities, and current CPD programs do not accommodate mentorship programs. The ideal CPD program should be designed around HPs and service needs and delivered through a user-friendly platform. The motivators for HPs to engage in CPD activities include learning new things that help them improve their healthcare services and license renewal.
UNASSIGNED: This study provides an overview of the status and perceptions of the CPD program in HFs in Rwanda and provides HPs\' insights on the improvements in designing a standardized and harmonized CPD program in Rwanda.

摘要：
■持续的专业发展（CPD）是提供医疗保健服务的重要支柱。各级和学科的卫生专业人员必须不断更新他们的知识和技能，以应对不断变化的疾病谱背景下日益增长的专业需求。这项研究旨在评估卢旺达医疗机构（HF）中可用的CPD计划。
■半结构化访谈采用目的性抽样进行。因此，受访者属于不同类别的卫生专业人员，即护士,助产士,实验室技术人员,药剂师,全科医生,和专科医生。35名来自地区的参与者，省,和国家转诊医院在2020年9月至10月期间接受了采访。使用Atlasti.7.5.18进行了专题分析，每个主题的主要调查结果作为叙述性摘要报告。
■据报道CPD程序可用，但并不是所有的HP和HFs,由于访问在线CPD程序有限或HF领导者有限。如有,据报道，CPD计划有时与卫生专业人员和患者的需求无关。此外，当前CPD计划的计划和实施很少涉及受益人。一些HFS没有将CPD计划整合到他们的日常活动中，和当前的CPD计划不适应导师计划。理想的CPD计划应围绕HP和服务需求进行设计，并通过用户友好的平台交付。HP参与CPD活动的动机包括学习新事物，以帮助他们改善医疗服务和许可证更新。
■本研究概述了卢旺达HFsCPD计划的现状和看法，并提供了HPs对卢旺达设计标准化和统一CPD计划的改进的见解。
