The Department of Continuing Education provides a variety of programs for
physicians, nurses, and allied health personnel within the central Pennsylvania
region, nationally and, at times, internationally.
The Department of Continuing Education is committed to a broad view of education
that begins with the self-directed learner on a continuum of learning throughout
his or her career. Learning can occur in a number of settings, from independent
study, interactive discussion, and conferences, through a number of modalities
including written text, audio, video, computer, and distance technologies. We
offer a variety of education opportunities targeted to meet the needs of the
learner in a continuously changing environment.
As medicine is facing major changes, so too is education. The future direction
of our Department will involve increasing collaborative efforts with other
academic institutions, hospitals, and organizations; pioneering innovative
educational techniques to impact health outcomes; harnessing opportunities
presented by technological innovations such as telemedicine and distance
education to expand the scope and impact of education programs, and partnering
with the community to improve the health education and thus the health and
well-being of our patients.
