Continuing medical education not only a responsibility but also a requirement to maintain a medical license in many states (e.g. California [1]).

Take a look at what that actually entails. Inexpensive online courses with guaranteed passing exams, many of which have zero to do with actually treating sick people -- Secondhand Smoke. Medical Ethics. Herbal Medicine Review.

Even if a practitioner took it seriously and wanted to get a real education about actual medical issues, they aren't going to find coverage of brand new drugs in an educational setting unless it was arranged by the drug companies themselves.
