Continuing education (CE) aims to help health professionals fulfill their ethical responsibility of maintaining professional competence. This research compares the CE guidelines and standards of 11 health professional organizations in relation to five domains of evolving professional values: ethics, cultural diversity, social justice, interprofessionalism, and self-care. Results showed that ethics received the greatest attention across the CE standards, followed by interprofessionalism and cultural diversity. This study offers a starting point for CE accreditors to examine the extent to which their CE standards align with their profession's stipulated values, and to situate themselves within the broader context of health profession accreditors.
继续教育（CE）旨在帮助卫生专业人员履行维持专业能力的道德责任。本研究比较了11个卫生专业组织在不断演变的专业价值观的五个领域（伦理、文化多样性、社会正义、跨专业合作和自我保健）方面的继续教育指南和标准。结果表明，伦理在继续教育标准中受到的关注最多，其次是跨专业合作和文化多样性。本研究为继续教育认证机构提供了一个起点，以检查其继续教育标准与本专业规定的价值观的契合程度，并将自身置于卫生专业认证机构的更广泛背景之中。
