Professional learning in sonography

The healthcare system is in a state of constant and rapid change as a result of the increase in scientific knowledge and rapid technological advances. To provide the best possible healthcare health practitioners must continue to learn throughout their working life. The notion that professionals must continually update their knowledge is not a new concept (1, 2). For example, Dubin (1 p.486) wrote of professionals: A highly trained person must constantly renew his knowledge. The goal is not merely to keep knowledge already acquired during the period of formal education. Much more than this - for past knowledge may become outdated - the aim is... self-renewal by keeping abreast of new knowledge that is constantly being added to by research and publication.
