== 3. What is continuing education as related to health careers? ==
+
<!--T:64-->
−
Once health professionals are certified or licensed to practice, they are required to keep their educations current by enrolling in "Continuing Professional Education" or CPE.  They must complete a specific number of hours of coursework every year.  During these courses, the professionals review current practices and are exposed to the latest techniques.  These courses are often sponsored by their employers, and often involve overnight trips taught at resorts or spas.  Employers provide this "perk" because they wish to retain their employees.

{{ansreq|page={{#titleparts:{{PAGENAME}}|2|1}}|num=1a}}

You may need to set up an appointment with these professionals, and they may ask that you come to their facilities for the interview.  Be prompt.  It is also courteous to send your interviewees a card or a gift as a thank you.  If the interview is conducted at the medical facility, you may be able to meet much of requirement '''5b''' as well.
