Procedure for Anointing the Sick

3. What is continuing education as related to health careers?

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.

4. Interview at least two people who work in a medical health career. One of the two must be someone other than a doctor or nurse, such as someone working in dentistry, physical therapy, respiratory therapy, radiology, nutrition, etc. In your interview ask the following questions:

• a. Why did you choose your profession?
• b. What education is necessary to enter your profession?
• c. After education, what amount of time does it take to become certified or proficient in your field?
• d. What part of your job do you like the best? The least?
• e. What day of the week and hours per day do you work at your job?
• f. What advancement is available in your field?
• g. What course of study in college would complement your chosen profession?
• h. List local schools that offer training in your profession?

The interview should take about 20-30 minutes to complete. Interviewing a respiratory therapist can also meet a requirement for the Voyager AY curriculum, so if you choose this option, be sure to ask these questions as well:

1. What are the benefits of regular exercise?
2. Explain the treadmill test.

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.
