• Receive informative feedback from valid educational sources (eg, simulators, instructors, or educational instruments).

• Be encouraged to reach a mastery standard.

• Have an opportunity for advancement to other, higher-level tasks.

We cannot underestimate the importance of camaraderie and networking at CME/CE functions and the importance of opportunities for clinicians to just “get away.” I’d love to hear from you regarding CME/CE events that you have attended that met or exceeded your expectations and what made them worthwhile.
