This research investigates e-learning readiness level of family medicine physicians (FM) in Turkey. The study measures the level of e-learning readiness of Turkish FM physicians by an online e-learning readiness survey. According to results five areas are ready at Turkish FM physicians but need a few improvements: "equipment/infrastructure," "online learning style readiness," "technological skills readiness," "cultural readiness," "financial readiness." Three areas are not ready and need some work to improve their readiness: "Human resource readiness," "attitude readiness," and "environmental readiness." Finally, the outcomes of e-learning readiness indicate that the Turkish Family Medicine Physicians are ready for adopting e-learning. The overall results show that the e-learning readiness level at Turkish FM physicians has been 68,28%, and ready but needs a few improvements for e-learning.
