Yes, but again it's not about "keeping up on the latest pharmaceuticals" that's small chunk of time. The changing landscape of existing drugs that have been out for 2+ years is much larger than the number of 'new' drugs.

Look into AIDS medications for example and pills are often a mix of 2+ existing drugs that work well together. And again, GP's rarely have to worry about the new Cancer drugs etc.
