Making the most of your state-required continuing education hours
Every clinician has felt the pressure: it’s almost time to renew your license, but you haven’t finished completing all your continuing education requirements.
The next thing you know, you’re sitting through a last-minute webinar on a topic you don’t really care about. But if you’re required to complete continuing education units, why not make them work to your benefit?
Training needs and preferences self-assessment exercise
Consider the following questions to identify education opportunities to strengthen your practice:
- What therapy skills do I have that could use improvement or fine-tuning?
- What tools would have helped me the last time I felt unprepared with a client?
- What techniques would I love to be implementing with my clients over the next few years?
