Online Continuing Education For Medical Professionals
After a decade and a half of the information superhighway there are very few claims made for the Internet that people won’t believe. Of course, simply surfing random waves of facts and figures will never lead to wisdom, but using today’s online resources for continuing education clearly leads to better trained, up-to-date professionals. For medical professionals, in fact, most states and federal certifications require CEUs (Continuing Education Units) to maintain good standing, and these are increasingly available online.
It didn’t take long for educators to see that the vast network of interconnected computers, databases, archives and individual users could offer more than dictionaries and encyclopedias, not to mention cartoons and the modern version of French postcards. Some people are content to be entertained and titillated by the Internet while, fortunately for society, many others are interested in continuing their education via online colleges – and the medical profession has, as expected, been one of the biggest adopters of this high-tech distance learning.
