Continuing Education

[smax]

Hey everyone,

Any good thoughts on continuing studying/learning? I was talking to a friend about continuing learning and how hard it is sometimes to want to sit down and read your old textbooks- by yourself. Any groups that get together? or Chats? Any really good websites or textbooks? I do my own self studying and our service is starting to have in-service presentations- but any other ideas would be great!

I have found my local Fire Departments are a good resource for continuing education... but thats down here in the sticks of the Ozark Mountians!!

Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness Canada has some good online CBRNE courses that are free. I'm sure NAIT and SAIT offer some kind of continuing education courses.

In my service we have our own clinical education division that pumps out plenty of in house courses as well as training officers that do monthly station visits for various topics. We also have lots of monthly free stuff like case rounds, physician shadowing etc where you earn CE hours for attending. There's always the alphabet soup courses to attend as well like ITLS/ACLS etc.

Most hospitals have some workshops like ECG interpretation etc that may be of interest as well.
