: : : : : : Should the cost for mandated continuing education be who's responsibility the employer or the health care professional?
: : : : : It would be nice to have at least part of the CEU's covered by the employer, but it's not too often possible anymore. Maybe the employer could allot a certain amount of funds to each department for an "education fund" Perhaps it could be used to bring in a speaker, or something. It would have to shared equally by the employees though in order to be fair to everyone. For now, I know it's my responsibility to get my "points" regardless of who pays for them.
: : : : Aren't some employers paying for it? Yes that would be a good idea for $$ to be set aside for CE for their employees.
: : : About the only thing we have covered in our department are mandatory things like ACLS.
: : My sister is a PT and she gets $1000 per year to use for CE.
: That is pretty good.
Not working yet, I just assumed it was the norm.
