Assessment in Continuing Professional Development
as a Person-Focused Activity

Monday, March 3, 2025

12:00 PM - 1:00 PM EST

Free for SACME Members / $30 Non-Members

Session Overview

Join us for this interesting session, the final one in the series we have been hosting with a number of authors who contributed publications to the recent Journal of Continuing Education in the Health Professions (JCEHP) supplement themed “Conceptual Advances in Continuing Professional Development in the Health Professions.” We will have an opportunity to hold conversations with scholars in our field who are examining and challenging some of the prevailing assumptions and proposing new empirical and theoretical insights.

During this session, the presenting authors will critically analyze and reframe existing literature on assessment in continuing professional development (CPD) through the lens of the health professional as a person. This perspective encourages a reconsideration of the fundamental educational purpose of CPD. Assessment will be presented as a key strategy to actively engage health professionals in their personal journey of lifelong learning and professional growth.

Specifically, they will aim to:

1. Define the core educational purpose of CPD and its role in fostering lifelong learning among health professionals.

2. Evaluate the impact of adopting a person-focused approach to CPD.

3. Analyze how assessment practices must be reframed to engage health professionals in sustained educational growth.

As always, we welcome your thoughts and perspectives and hope to see you engaged in our VJC.

Several states have extended Medicaid coverage for prerelease and transition services to people in prisons and jails through program demonstrations. These services are associated with improved recidivism, post-release employment, cost savings, and fewer overdoses.

When: Thursday, March 6, 2025, 12 p.m. – 1 p.m. ET
