Description & Coverage
Description:

This book aims to summarize continuous professional development as value creation for healthcare systems, organizations, teams, and professionals. Its value resides in advocating for the maintenance of health professionals’ competence upon graduation. By doing so, the social contract of health professionals towards society is honored. However, it is critical to transition from the continuing medical education mindset towards the continuous professional development one, which delves into the self-direction of learners. Particularly in the post-pandemic world, students, educators, and practitioners need to prepare for the unexpected.
