Introduction: Adult education is a distinct aspect of learning. For adult learners in health care, the role of continuing professional education in their personal, professional, and interprofessional development and on their health - related behaviors is crucial. Purpose: This review explores the role of continuing professional education for adult learners in health care. Methods: A literature review was conducted using the international databases Medline, PubMed, Cinahl, and the Greek database Iatrotek. Results: In an ever-changing society, updating the knowledge of health professionals is a powerful tool for both individuals and socioeconomic development. The need of adults for continuous personal development and professional advancement, as well as the need of organizations for new strategies for development, modernization, and promotion of their human resources, have directed scientists to search for appropriate learning methods for this particular group. Conclusions: Knowledge and proper implementation of evidence-based practices by health professionals is not only imperative but also essential. Adult health professionals facing the challenges of modern times are required to maintain and redefine knowledge and skills through continuing professional education. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
