Continuing education for healthcare professionals is often required to maintain licensure. It’s designed for licensed clinicians to enhance their knowledge and skills after their initial certification or degree. CE is essential to ensure providers stay current with clinical practices, regulatory updates, accreditation standards, and evolving patient care requirements. Continuing education for healthcare professionals helps clinicians and administrators maintain professional licensure, satisfy accreditation or certification renewal requirements, support patient safety and compliance by ensuring staff stay up to date on current practices, and improve quality of care.

MedTrainer’s continuing education library has over 600 relevant, up-to-date CE and CME courses for staff to satisfy license renewal, maintain certifications, and even earn healthcare continuing education credit when completing required regulatory training. Some of the most popular CE courses in the MedTrainer Library are great continuing education for healthcare administrators, such as Cultural Competency for Healthcare Professionals, Risk Management, and Diversity, Inclusion, and Belonging. Some of the most popular courses for licensed clinicians include Documentation Standards for Medical Records, Human Trafficking and the Role of Healthcare Professionals, and Radiation Orientation. 

MedTrainer’s continuing education courses are nationally recognized by numerous accrediting bodies, including: 

• American Academy of Professional Coders (AAPC)
• American Association of Medical Assistants (AAMA)

Customers drive the majority of our learning course content and certifications.

Yes, staff can access any CE courses by self-assigning them (as opposed to a system administrator having to assign all courses). This means that staff can complete any continuing education for the healthcare industry at any time. By providing access to CEs and CMEs staff can take at their own pace from anywhere with internet access, organizations greatly improve the quality of care for patients and increase job satisfaction for staff. CE credits can be expensive and time consuming, so licensed professionals will see it as a huge benefit to have these high-quality courses available to them. When staff self-assign courses they are automatically saved to their training profile, so its easy to track fulfillment of CE or CME license requirements. 

Yes, MedTrainer CE courses are approved by dozens of state-specific boards. Examples include the Florida Board of Nursing, California Marriage and Family Therapy Board, and New York State Board for Social Work. Securing approval with state- and license-specific boards is a critical step in ensuring CE courses are effective for healthcare organizations who want to provide CE training to employees through their learning management system.

MedTrainer CE courses are part of MedTrainer’s course library, so it’s easy for both staff and system administrators to find these courses. Many filters and sorting options are available in the course library, so it is simple to identify courses that are aligned with specific regulatory agencies, accreditation organizations, care settings, states, and more. Since the CE courses are part of MedTrainer’s healthcare training platform, you can assign, tracking, and report on CE courses the same way you complete any course within MedTrainer’s LMS. It’s also the same experience for employees. Courses are accessed, completed, and recorded (with completion certificate) in their MedTrainer profile so they always know exactly where they stand.

By strategically selecting CE courses that also satisfy regulatory requirements, healthcare organizations can create efficiencies, reduce redundancy, and improve overall staff satisfaction. Since the organization is already providing required healthcare compliance training to meet regulatory and accreditation requirements, many are now also offering CEUs for staff. This is a huge perk for employees because of the time and money they can save by not having to find the credits on their own. By reducing the time and effort required to complete CE requirements, healthcare organizations can improve job satisfaction and reduce burnout among staff. Stacking continuing education and training takes it a step further — employees can earn CE credits while satisfying compliance requirements. It’s a win for everyone!
