For the busy professional, long-term plannning can be necessary for conference attendance.
Continuing education units (CEUs) are an important part of any health care practitioner's career. Some specialties require documentation of a number of CEUs as a mandatory component for recertification or relicensure. Conferences in specialty medicine, such as pediatric cardiology, have a smaller audience of attendees and, therefore, a smaller market. Because of this, it is very important to know when and where a specialty conference will take place. Missing a conference can make it quite a bit tougher to attain those valuable CEU hours.
