Continuing education is very important in this field. Research is always making changes to our current profession and technology continues to change. Think about this: if you were going in for a surgery, would you want to have a surgeon who has never taken another continuing education opportunity? Not me, I want him/her to be at the top of their game!

As far as how often and how much is required, it varies by state. It usually is 20-40 hours every two years. ...typically a weekend course or two...However, many activities can count as continuing ed...home study courses, journal clubs, etc. It's not much, really. Believe me, once you get out in the field, you will welcome continuing ed opportunities.
