Abstract/OtherAbstract:
PURPOSE: To determine the self-directed characteristics of medical imaging professionals who participate in online CE activities. METHODS: A survey was administered to medical imaging professionals who completed an online CE program. Responses captured opinions on motivation, self-monitoring and self-management regarding CE activities. RESULTS: Radiographers, the largest group of survey respondents, indicated that their motivation to participate in CE activities was based on licensure requirements, clinical competence and expanding clinical practice. Self-management responses reflected the desire to select courses with CE credits. Self-monitoring results captured the learner's desire to practice cutting-edge technology. CONCLUSION: The ability to control their learning and to think critically about innovations in the field were most influential in motivating medical imaging professionals to complete CE courses.
