Are you a laggard?
Continuing education is an accepted and expected practice in dentistry today. Professional responsibility dictates contemporary knowledge be utilized in our patient treatment. As society becomes more health conscious, demands are being made for mandated participation in continuing education. For continuing education to be of value, it must present information and experiences that address both the needs of the adult learner and the profession. A variety of learning activities should be accepted for continuing education credit. Of the identifiable types of active practitioners, the laggard presents the most substantial problem. Mandatory education is one proposed method of drawing the laggard back into the life-long learning arena.
