Perhaps a good idea is start to go to congresses. I can recommend you this site:

The specific continuing medical education (CME) requirements for pediatricians vary depending on the country and the certifying board. However, in general, pediatricians are typically required to complete a certain number of CME credits or hours within a specific timeframe to maintain their board certification. These CME activities can include attending conferences, workshops, seminars, and online courses that cover a wide range of topics related to pediatric medicine.

Continuing Education units, (CEU's) are required for MA's to keep their certification, and credentials.

Organizations that may provide medical continuing education courses are universities like Everest and Duke that provide programs and on the job training.
In the US, at least, specialization happens after graduation from medical school. After obtaining a medical degree, a prospective pediatrician will then usually enter a residency program in pediatrics, which typically lasts another three years (including an intern year).
Pediatricians are licensed medical practitioners.
Continuing education is same with taking a renewal course. For example, you're a Licensed Electrician, then you'll need to renew your license for every date you're required to take an "Electrical Continuing Education" course. If you are talking about courses without continuing education, there is a lot of courses that I should mention. But let me give you examples, courses like Medical Transcription training, Medical Billing and Coding training, Pharmacy Technician training, Medical Office Management training and the like don't have renewal courses or should I say continuing education courses. I hope this will help you enlightened about the difference of continuing education courses and non-CE courses.
The companies PCMScientific and Marbek both specialize in hosting continuing medical education conferences. Both companies also specialize in many other educations.
The education requirements vary from only needing a certification in a specified area to needing a bachelors degree and additional schooling for certification in specific areas of medical technology.
Pediatricians are medical doctors who specialize in pediatrics, or the care and treatment of children. Most pediatricians are licensed doctors of osteopathic medicine.
Pediatricians are in demand worldwide, so location is not so much an issue as acquiring the education. Most pediatricians have four years undergraduate study, 4 year medical degree and then their residency before private practice.
