Opportunities to Learn
Addiction-focused professionals are busier than ever. Budgets are being cut. How can conscientious professionals stay informed of the important clinical and professional issues they must address?
NAADAC, the Association for Addiction Professionals, has a new tool open to members and non-members alike. The 2011 NAADAC webinar series tackles issues as varied as clinical supervision, enhancing your career and strategies for successfully taking exams. The webinars are led by nationally recognized presenters and offer practical strategies for professionals.
The project is a collaboration between NAADAC and the health technology company AccuCare, and is focused on keeping you up-to-date on changes in your field. While the webinars are focused on delivering an in-depth presentation, each webinar includes a feedback session where participants can discuss the issues they have just learned and place them in a larger context of what it means for their individual practice and for the profession as a whole.
The full schedule is detailed in the accompanying box. Two continuing education (CE) credits are available for anyone who attends the webinars. CEs are free for NAADAC members and are available for $12.50 for non-NAADAC members. There is no charge to attend the webinars.
