Career Pathways: Basics

Wednesday, January 8, 2025
8:00 AM - 2:00 PM ET
Location: Emerald Bay 4
Join us on the shores of healthcare education for an immersive workshop designed to help you build strong foundations in Continuing Education (CE). Like master sandcastle architects, we'll explore the essential elements needed to construct a robust CE career. In this hands-on experience, you'll learn to mold the sand of adult learning theories, sculpt the towers of instructional design, and reinforce your creations with the water of accreditation standards. You'll discover how to assess the tides of educational needs, craft intricate learning objectives, and evaluate the stability of your educational structures. Through interactive activities and group sculpting sessions, you'll apply the Standards for Integrity and Independence, learning to protect your creations from the waves of potential conflicts. By the end of our day on the CE beach, you'll have blueprints for your own professional sandcastle and a network of fellow builders to support your ongoing construction.

Learning Objectives:

  • Map the Shoreline: Accurately identify and describe at least three key elements of the current CE accreditation landscape when presented with various healthcare scenarios
  • Mix the Perfect Sand: Successfully apply two fundamental adult learning theories to design asample CE activity outline during a 30-minute group sandcastle-building exercise.
  • Build Strong Walls: Correctly implement at least four of the Standards for Integrity and Independence in Accredited Continuing Education during an interactive beach-themed role-playing scenario
  • Design Your Dream Castle: Develop a personalized blueprint identifying three specific resources and strategies for ongoing professional development in the CE realm
