I agree with removing the term "clinical" from our guidelines. Removing it would allow us the ability to do more classes such as HIPAA and sex trafficking.

I also agree with doing 24 CE hours in person. I believe learning is greater in a classroom setting. It provides greater feedback, discussions, stimulates thoughts and ideas amongst attendees. 

Since auditing of CE credits by the Board of Medicine is no longer going to take place, how do we ensure our doctors are taking CE classes? CE Credits are there for practitioners to further their education and better themselves in their profession. It is a public safety issue if doctors do not continue to get and stay educated. 

I do not think doctors should view going to in person classes as inconvenient or time consuming. We are doctors, we should have higher standards. 

I believe it is our professional duty and responsibility to our patients to get proper continuing education.
