We support a diverse range of CPD activities that encourage innovation and meet health professionals' licensing and certification requirements.

We offer a variety of ways for health care professionals to reinvest in their careers and remain life-long learners: grand rounds, preceptor development, certificate courses, refresher courses, workshops and conferences, skill development, information sharing, technical assistance and consultation, learning collaboratives, journal clubs, and more!

 


Our programs are often taught by health sciences faculty from the state’s five medical academic centers, bringing university expertise into North Carolina communities.
