Abstract:
More than a decade ago, Dr. Curtis Olson published a futuristic commentary predicting the next era of Continuing Professional Development (CPD). While Dr. Olson considered crucial change at the forefront of CPD, the last decade has also seen a wave of technology changes that few could predict. In this mixed methods analysis, we describe a qualitative process in identifying the next decade of changes to the process of healthcare education. We sought to engage our community in a grassroots collaborative, amplifying the voices of those involved in shaping the past, pushing the current, and setting the future of CPD. This research includes quantitative and qualitative survey research, focus group facilitation, and collaborative workshops. In each setting, respondents provided commentary and unification of themes related to changes in technology and how it will shape the future of CPD. Here, we report the findings of those themes and recommendations for appropriate and thoughtful use of technology.
