Décrire les attitudes et les attentes des médecins généralistes concernant la formation médicale continue. Étude transversale menée auprès de 120 médecins généralistes exerçant dans le secteur public ou le secteur libéral de la région sanitaire de Sfax. Le taux de participation était de 60,83 %. La quasi-totalité des généralistes (soit 95,9 %) pensent que la formation est nécessaire, 71,2 % la considèrent comme un devoir déontologique et 28,8 % la proposent comme une activité facultative. Les principales attentes sont les nouveautés thérapeutiques (64,3 %) et les gestes techniques d’ordre pratique (45,2 %). La formation médicale continue concerne tous les médecins et en particulier, les médecins généralistes. Selon notre étude, les attentes se résument dans une pédagogie active, un contenu spécifique à leurs besoins et une évaluation formative. Through this study, we proposed to describe the attitudes of general doctors in the region of Sfax (Tunisia) with respect to the continuing medical education and identify their expectations for continuing medical education. Our study, transversal, was spread over 3 months, from July to September 2015. It consisted of a survey of 120 general doctors working in the public sector or the liberal sector of the health region of Sfax. Data were collected through a questionnaire that includes questions about their attitudes and expectations of continuing medical education, objectives and obstacles of this training and the factors of motivation. The rate of participation in the study was 60.83 %. Twenty-two physicians (30.1 %) were employed in the liberal sector and 51 (69.9 %) belonged to the public sector. Our sample consisted of 39 women and 34 men. Almost all general practitioners (95.9 %) think that the continuing medical education is required. Only 53.4 % believe that training is a legal requirement. Furthermore, 71.2 % of the study population regard it as an ethical duty and 28.8 % the offer as an optional activity. Indeed, in Tunisia, the continuing medical education is still optional and is not subject to any control or legislation. Its obligation is only to ethical and moral order. Among the expectations of general practitioners of this investigation, therapeutic innovations and practices order of techniques were the themes that they consider most relevant to teach as part of continuing medical education with respective frequencies of 64.3 % and 45.2 %. Continuing medical education affects all physicians regardless
