Continuous Learning

The nature of medical education is continuous...it has to be! The act of certification and licensure often includes that element (CME, CEU, etc) in order to renew, re-certify or re-license. I am reminded daily of how important, as a teacher, it is to stay current with the ever, and quickly changing information database that is medicine. Coming to medical school was really the only logical progression from being a clinical PA. No matter what happens here, I have continued my learning and, hopefully, my effective use of that knowledge. I become more fully aware of that fact each day I hear our our professors with clinical knowledge detail a process or disease or anatomy or physiology.
