Abstract

As we advance through our professional lives, learning is defined not only by earning qualifications and passing examinations, but also by ensuring that we as health professionals have the skills to continue striving in a fast-paced, constantly evolving environment with an increased emphasis on technology, observation and experience. In this digital age, we are inundated with learning opportunities such as textbooks, webinars, massive open online courses, podcasts, conferences, seminars and courses. Learning resources have never been more plentiful or accessible. Every day, we are incited to pursue professional and intellectual development opportunities in ways that are tailored to our individual learning styles and preferences. By following education best practices, using available technology to remove barriers and continuing to ensure content remains free from bias, @ERStalk is committed to guiding respiratory health professionals along the path of lifelong learning http://ow.ly/4uUa30leLMb
