A problem-oriented assessment of continuing education needs of allied health department heads
Abstract:
A survey of the continuing education needs of allied health department heads in Ohio hospitals and educational institutions provided data on the following professions: Dietetics, Medical Record Administration, Medical Technology, Occupational Therapy, Physical Therapy, Radiologic Technology, and Respiratory Therapy. Seven hundred and eighty responses (51% response rate) representing the seven allied health professions were analyzed by profession and in total. Of the respondents, 93 percent stated an interest in attending continuing education programs but only 59 percent had inservice continuing education provided by their employing institution. Specific topics needed and program characteristics to maximize accessibility were identified for each profession.
