Multiple Education Opportunities

---

For health care professionals in the Greater Dayton Area, the Center for Health Communities which includes Wright State University, Sinclair College and Kettering College of Medical Arts presents a continuing education seminar each year that meets their needs.

Yearly a survey is taken among the professionals to determine the seminar subject. Topics have included sub-acute care, prospective payment issues and gerontology and end-of-life issues. Over 300 participate in the sessions and earn continuing education credits.

Attendees include doctors, nurses, psychologists, social workers, physician assistants, dental hygienists, dieticians, community health advocates, mental health professionals and education counselors. By offering the seminars to multiple health care professionals, the entire community benefits from a greater understanding of current health care issues.

In addition each year, continuing education conferences are presented on specific patient populations. Doctors and nurses earn credits from sessions that address topics such as health beliefs and practices typically found among patients of Appalachian culture or patients from Arabic speaking countries. The seminars focus on developing health care strategies for people from different cultures.
