Of course it will only work for those motivated to continue learning.
Still, it will at least provide continued exposure to information for
those that are motivated, and hopefully even those not so motivated will
benefit from that exposure. In my profession, you can pick and choose
which CE's to complete. Some are brainless, some are challenging. Some
are not applicable to a particular branch of the profession.
I'd like to have access to standardized lesson plans for CE in piloting
that would be applicable to my level of flying (single engine, light
aircraft). I know it would help me.
Now there will be those that will go for the brainless, easy lessons.
"You can lead a horse to water..."
I think it would be an economic way to improve pilot skills.

It works in the medical professions.
No, it doesn't "work" in the medical profession.
Most doctors are self-motivated and attend CME courses out of their
own interest.
Those docs who are not interested in CME have lots of ways to go on a
ski vacation and get credit for the CME course anyway.
The same happens with CFI renewal courses right now and would happen
with mandatory pilot CME -- those who would benefit don't need the
mandate.
