## Support for continuing healthcare education in an online setting

Recent years have shown that continuing medical education does not need to occur in a formal, scheduled setting. Nurses and other healthcare professionals can now earn accreditation by attending continuing professional development whenever they can, whether that’s the morning, afternoon, or night shift. It’s easier for them to perform their training when they are most awake and aware and makes it more likely they will perform well. Angela Fair and Kellie Schuerger have learned these lessons over the past few years as they have harnessed the power of Echo360 in their continuing education classes. Throughout their many years of education, they have seen it all, and have found Echo360 to be the most effective tool for healthcare professionals who need to undergo ongoing formal education.
