What We Seek in Our Instructors

3. Content Quality: All courses must meet the approval requirements of Continuing Education organizations. This entails offering evidence-based content that reflects the latest scientific knowledge and emerging practice strategies and methods.
4. Course Proposal: As part of the interview/presentation process, all presenters/guests will be required to submit a Continuing Education outline/syllabus. This should include a detailed course description, clear learning objectives, and any other relevant information.
