Topics for Session 8

Continuing Professional Development

Below are several questions for you to think about and respond to on the bulletin board. Once you have gathered your thoughts, please post your responses on the bulletin board prior to our on-line sessions scheduled for Thursday, February 26, 1998 from 4-6 PM. During that time you can react to other students' responses.

  1. Should the cost for mandated continuing education be the responsibility of the employer or the individual health care professional?
  2. What type of continuing education programs would you prefer to attend? In answering this question, consider travel, cost, format of the program, length of the program, content, and audience (interdisciplinary or discipline-specific).
  3. Should continuing education be mandatory or voluntary?  Give reasons for your position.
