An outreach cancer education program: a model for continuing education in the dental office.

During the period 1970-1973, only 2.5 percent of the dentists practicing in Kentucky attended cancer continuing education courses offered by the University of Kentucky College of Dentistry. In the fall of 1973 a different approach to cancer education was launched: Learn about Oral Cancer in Your Office. Self-instructional materials, developed in the College of Dentistry, were taken to the dentist's office on an appointment basis. This method had great appeal and significantly increased the number of dentists involved in cancer continuing education. Other positive results of this approach were a greater awareness on the part of the dentist of his role in cancer detection, a desire amont the participants to alter the pattern of practice to include cancer detection techniques, and exposure of dental auxiliary personnel to cancer education material.

As continuing education programs for radiologic technologists expand, it is important that needs be properly assessed and well-designed programs be developed. This reports on the step-by-step process of a regional medical education center to provide continuing education for technologists that would be most beneficial to them and indirectly to the patients they serve.

Determining continuing education interests of medical technologists: an initial step.

Continuing education is an ever-increasing need for medical technologists who want to maintain and upgrade their professional knowledge and skills. Professional groups strive to develop programs to meet a diversity of needs. Planning groups often encounter difficulty during the program development process as they identify topics and select effective educational strategies for presentation. In order to help identify topics of interest and desirable educational methods for the continuing education of laboratory personnel, a continuing medical technology education interest assessment tool was developed and used by a medical technology continuing education committee. Development and use of this assessment tool and resulting statistical survey results formed the basis for two continuing education courses, both considered highly successful.
