To properly exercise throughout his professional life, doctors have to engage in some form of continuing education. Continuing medical education is not limited to formal education, includes very diverse experiences, formal and informal such as meetings with colleagues, self-learning and distance education. The purpose of this paper is to present the results to explore strategies and resources used by medical professionals to keep up to date. Implemented an electronic survey of 5 questions with several response options; explored questions about: workplace, frequency experiences 'need' to update their medical knowledge, methods and resources used more frequently. 9.851 answers were obtained. The most frequently mentioned modalities were assistance to courses, conferences and seminars and participating in activities in the hospital. Journals published by scientific societies and clinical guidelines are information sources referred to most frequently. The resources available on the internet were mentioned by less than 20% of the professionals who responded. There are some differences between the methods and resources used by doctors who work only in their offices and those who attend at hospital.
