Mandatory Continuing Education for Clinical Laboratory Personnel
Fran Fisher, MEd
Mary L. Pankowski, PhD
A b s t r a c t
Continuing education is imperative for clinical laboratory professionals because of continuous rapid changes in the field. The authors review the pros and cons of mandatory continuing education in current literature and present arguments for its adoption. By reference to recent well-designed studies that show continuing education alters professional practice they respond to the argument that continuing education has not been proven effective. A system for mandatory continuing education for laboratory professionals is proposed.
