How frequently should continuing education programs be reviewed and updated?

Continuing education programs should be reviewed and updated periodically, typically every 2-3 years or as needed. This frequency allows for the incorporation of new information, changes in industry standards, advancements in technology, and shifts in learner needs. Regular reviews ensure that the content remains relevant and effective, reflecting current practices and knowledge in the field. It also allows for necessary adjustments to be made in response to feedback from participants and changes in legislation or regulations that may affect the educational material. This approach supports ongoing improvement and ensures that the educational offerings continue to meet the needs of practitioners and the populations they serve.
