Continuing education

But what I've learned through this experience is, is that the more reps, the more practice you put in, the more confident you get.

And the more you invest in yourself, invest in education, invest in those seminars, in going to RSNA, in making sure you do those workshops, even online CE credits, all those things, it makes a difference, which matters.

So do that work before you actually pack your bags and make the decision to move to a city, and you'll definitely be happy you did.

You want to take the growth opportunities, the pay versus the cost of living, the climate, family situations.

All of that should be part of your decision framework for deciding what's the best city for you as a social worker.

It's something that everyone needs to understand.

What are the core parts of this person's identity and how do they affect the presentation I'm seeing? So I hope this was very helpful for understanding how CE is changing based on what we're seeing our students enroll in at Agents of Change.
