Continuing Education in The Management Role

Having educated yourself to degree level and beyond is time consuming and demanding however, the end result is what drives a large number of people to succeed and become managing directors and CEO’s of large companies. It is important to remember smaller companies with less staff still play an important role in a countries economic growth and productivity. If you are a manager or CEO, the responsibility is the same whether you manage hundreds of staff or just a few. The result is continued growth in the market place, a happy productive staff team and most importantly survival in a very hostile business world.

We are aware of the current financial crisis, the ups and downs of global markets having a direct affect on all companies. Once again, the difference of a large or small company is very little in as much as survival rate and the ability to operate from month to month.

In the ever-changing market, the abilities of the managing director or CEO are being tested from day to day.

It has become imperative for such educated people to continue their education. The changing market, trends and specific needs of individuals and the staff team as a whole are becoming very demanding, if the current CEO’s and managing directors do not continue their education they run the risk of being left behind or even replaced by a more educated more up to date candidate.

A managing director or CEO will have to concentrate on some key areas of continued education, such as human resources, changing markets and the market place, health and safety and other more individual specific courses linked to their chosen area of expertise.

The modern progressive and dynamic staff teams are very thirsty for knowledge and continued education.

This is time consuming in its self. The HR department also needs to continue their education to keep abreast of trends, legal requirements and stopping stagnation within the work force. The new modern HR department will have an aggressive and at times daunting continued educational target. Without a continued education program, a staff team would simply remain at a standstill, staff members would not be able to continue their growth within the company and then costly advertising campaign would have to search for suitable candidates to fill the void.

All managing directors or CEO’s know internal promotions are better for the growth of the company as they make staff feel valued and promote positive thinking within the team to be more forward progressive thinkers. If they see colleagues advance in their careers, then they hopefully will have the drive and ambition to continue their individual education to succeed and move up the corporate ladder.

It is important to remember that with continued education comes change. This can mean many things however, two key areas are a move for the manager or CEO to pastures new if their individual growth requires new more challenging roles or complete organizational re-structure so continued education can succeed.

Physical Therapy Continuing Education: Rehah Post Fai Surgery

Physical Therapy Continuing Education recently interviewed a Hip Surgery Rehab Expert about his process for rehabbing people post FAI Hip surgery.

Here are some of his answers:

Hip Surgery Rehab Expert:That being said he asked the patients to stay at least four to five days following the surgery, come twice a day, really get hands on as far as whats involved with the rehab, have a thorough understanding of that rehab process. The more times that patient can hear and have the rehab performed on them the more theyre gonna remember once they leave.

We couldnt always rely on if the patient was going back somewhere where there was a therapist available or they didnt have the means to go to therapy following this, so we also tried to make the rehab process as much possible for the patient to perform on their own with just some follow-up care as needed.

So, our main hip surgeon, when he came out here he had for the most part the same population and so he adopted that philosophy. He asked that the patients stay at least four to five days, to get in twice a day while theyre out here and we go through their specific program with them.

They get treated twice a day and then once they leave here they have the information to contact us via email, phone call to continue up with either their therapist or once they leave here their therapist or they themselves can follow-up with us.

Because our hips surgeon's practice is just exploding we did bring on an athletic trainer who has allowed us to communicate more openly with these patients and the therapists once they leave here. So, we have one full staff person dedicated purely to communicating with the patients and the therapists once they leave.

Interviewer: Excellent. And then follow-up. Do people actually come back to Vail for reassessment or how does that side of things work?

Hip Surgery Rehab Expert:Yes. What well do is theyll stay here four to five days, and what we found is that a lot of patients will stay a little bit longer. Weve seen more and more people dedicating two weeks out here. Obviously its Vail and theres some expense with spending the days out here and the nights out here, so we understand that, but some patients have made the they put the effort into finding one of the best physicians in the world doing the surgery in the rehab facility they figure they might as well spend a little extra money and stay out here. So, they are staying anywhere from four days to two weeks, three weeks up to some patients staying their whole rehab process.

That being said, even if they leave after four or five days we have them come back at probably about six to eight weeks which is right around the time when theyre starting to get more into their functional activities. Kind of going from phase two into phase three of their rehab. Thats around the time that we ask them to come back, around that six to eight week mark and/or they will come back at around 12 weeks.

C.A.

Bernadette was diagnosed with breast cancer in Oregon.  Her doctor in Oregon told her that she needed surgery as soon as possible.  However, since she was not employed and had no insurance, she decided to move back home to Indiana.

She found a job in Indianapolis, but it had no benefits.  Therefore she applied for an individual major medical policy.  She did not tell the agent about her cancer and the policy was issued on a standard basis with no riders.

60 days after the policy was issued she had a  "routine" mammogram" which "discovered"

 

(Continued from previous page) the cancer.  She told the radiologist at the clinic that she had had a mammogram about a year earlier, at a public health clinic.  She did not mention the finding, however.  She was immediately admitted to a hospital in Indianapolis and a mastectomy was performed.

During a routine claims review, the insurer sent an inquiry to the Public Health Service in Oregon, which duly reported the earlier findings.  Based upon these findings, the insurer canceled the policy based upon a material misrepresentation and refused to pay for any of the medical costs.
