About this Research Topic
Continuing Professional Development (CPD) is an integral component of health professions education, representing an extensive and diverse stage in the lifelong learning journey. Throughout professionals' careers, this phase remains paramount for ensuring that health practitioners and educators are adept at addressing challenges and capitalizing on opportunities arising from progress. The contemporary landscape, accelerated speed of research discoveries, artificial intelligence and emerging new medical devices, reaffirms the importance of CPD.
The goal of this Research Topic is to advance research and practice this area, and contribute to an increasingly evidence-based approach to CPD as a crucial area of education and training in healthcare. We want this collection to inspire, inform and guide researchers in the field globally. This Research Topic is focused on articles addressing continuing professional development within health professions education. This includes all education and training of health professionals of all backgrounds that takes place post-qualification during their careers.
We are interested in articles that provide evidence syntheses and new research findings, but also those that focus on theories, processes, outcomes, solutions to current challenges, or future perspectives in the field. We specially welcome submissions from those colleagues in the global south, or in underrepresented countries in the literature.
All article types will be considered for this Research Topic. For more information regarding particular article types, please visit: https://www.frontiersin.org/journals/medicine/for-authors/article-types
