How do you decide what education programs to attend?

Abstract

Increasingly, constraints on resources require that any decision to participate in a continuing education program be scrutinized to ensure the most effective and efficient use of time, money, and personnel. In addition to these constraints, and complicating the decision-making process, are professional pressures to keep abreast of developments in the field. But deciding whether to attend a seminar or workshop can be facilitated if the program is evaluated according to the suggestions in this article.
