Continuing education: do mandates matter?
This study questions the assumption that radiographers lack the motivation to voluntarily participate in continuing professional education. Results of the author's survey of radiographers in 22 Central Florida hospitals--where state law mandates completion of 12 hours of CPE biannually--showed significant differences in participation due to motivational orientation and selected professional, educational and personal characteristics.
