The Continuing Education Center for Health Professionals develops and offers quality continuing education programs for health-care providers and those interested in pursuing an entry-level position in health care or upgrading existing skill sets. Programs are designed with input from health professionals and professional associations to assist those in practitioner, supervisor/manager and educator positions to more effectively meet their responsibilities. Newly emerging concepts of health care, principles, theories and research findings — which will enhance the professional's knowledge and enable practice at increasingly higher levels of excellence — are presented.
