Healthcare Continuing Education
Professionals Day

Recognizing the work behind lifelong learning

Healthcare Continuing Education Professionals Day is our chance to shine a spotlight on the exceptional continuing education (CE) professionals who move healthcare forward and to celebrate the difference they make every day.

Get ready for the third annual celebration on Friday, January 22, 2027! Healthcare Continuing Education Professionals Day is celebrated each year on the Friday of the third full week of January.

Start planning now! Bring your organization together, explore the ideas page, and use resources such as the social media toolkit to build excitement. Mark your calendar and join us in applauding the CE planners, speakers, reviewers, faculty, facilitators, and countless others who make high-quality continuing education possible!

Make the celebration memorable: Host an awards ceremony, gather your team for a special lunch, offer an energizing workshop or webinar, or plan a fun team-building activity. 

Leverage your leadership: Share your CE program’s success with organizational leaders and invite them to send a letter celebrating your CE team and the vital work they do.
