The Places You'll Go

Abigail Adams is quoted as having said, "Learning is not attained by chance; it must be sought for with ardor and attended to with diligence." Autumn is usually the time of year when people start thinking about education. And June is when they look forward to vacation. But continuing education, like shopping and other activities, is now available anywhere, anytime, and can be fit in around our unique adult schedules. This month, Inside Dental Hygiene asks, how does continuing education fit into your professional and personal development, and what can you do to find the best platform for your goals?

As the roles and career pathways of dental hygienists have expanded, so have their opportunities to explore educational options. However, too much choice-and not enough time-requires the careful evaluation of presenters, venues, learning objectives, opportunities to interact, etc. Some scrutiny before signing up can result in a higher quality, and therefore more engaging, educational experience.

We hope Inside Dental Hygiene will continue to be a primary resource for your professional development. Please visit our continuing education portal at idh.cdeworld.com, our AEGIS Dental Network vertical at insidedentalhygiene.com, and our social media platforms, and let us know what more we should offer. Thank you for your continuing support.
