Do away with CE - it's a hindrance
 

Everyone knows CE is a formality. Just charge us the fee to renew the license. Let us pursue other things we want to learn, but no doctor out there is only remaining competent due to a CE requirement. Practice makes us better and adding tons of CE hours in no way protects the public whether its online or face to face. That said, if CE must be there, forcing it to be face to face only takes away from doctors' hours they could be helping people as it typically requires office closures. Online allows us to do it in small chunks on evenings with no practice disruption
