Healthcare Turning Digital

The Internet has changed the way we function, as a society. E-mail has eliminated the need to write letters and send them through snail-mail. Online shopping now allows you to stay at home and pick out your hearts desires for the best price while UPS does the physical work of delivering your item to your doorstep. News travels fast, from one end of the world to the next – you can find any information on anyone, anytime, with a few keywords and a click of the mouse. And now, more and more, Healthcare professionals are spending their weekends attending personal matters rather than in a classroom, taking their annual or bi-annual continuing education.

National Medical Education, formerly known as Scripps, has been providing CE courses through correspondence for Radiologic Technologists, Respiratory Technicians, Laboratory Technicians, Nurses, and Dentists. Books and exams were ordered and mailed to the student, and returned to NME for grading and exchanged with a certificate of CE completion. More and more, however, students are turning to online courses and exams – with 24/7 Sales and Customer Support, students are able to download their course material and take the online exam. Once the online exam is complete, they are given their grade, real-time, and a certificate automatically auto-populates with the information they entered at registration and is conveniently ready to print. Considering the growing healthcare demand, as recently stated by U.S.News in Ahead-of-the-Curve Careers, Healthcare professionals now no longer have to take time off when they are just days away from their license expiration dates.
