The topic of special interest was the organization and management of a continuing education department within a hospital. -- An open-systems theory for research was used as the conceptual framework. Questions derived from this theory were used as a basis during the field study. -- The researcher was a participant observer, within a given hospital, utilising focused interview techniques to gather data. -- The data was analysed in light of the conceptual framework and recommendations were made for the future of continuing education for health workers in Newfoundland hospitals.
