Continuing professional development formats
The educational format used should be the most effective and efficient method for meeting the learning objectives (UHPC 2008). Approaches such as on-the-job training and blended learning can be used to minimize the amount of time health workers must spend away from their jobs (Schaefer 2005). Distance learning opportunities and information technology can be used to address the limited professional development experienced by health workers in remote locations (Ndege 2006).
Similarly, follow-up of trainees after the CPD intervention is an important step in the process, one used to determine if the intervention was effective and to learn what changes might improve it in the future.
