Knowledge is only worth having if you can share it
While sitting at the table at a very good Mexican fast food joint in Angel, I was munching into their delicious totopos (Tortilla chips with beans, cheese, roasted vegetables, guacamole…) while discussing the fascinating world of Eyes.
Our discussion centred on the importance of continuous learning and education. Although my friend, (and champion and supporter – Thank You!) had just successfully completed a set of qualifying exams she had already started to consider how to continuously up her skills and knowledge levels.
Whilst there are those whose reaction to the completion of professional exams is a big sigh of relief, it’s those whose thirst for knowledge is only partially parched that will go on to lead their field.
So how to quench this thirst?
The thought we had was as follows, to share the knowledge gained with a motivated group of professionals who can all contribute their brain power to investigate and diagnose conditions whilst continuing their professional education. The mechanics of this and the tools needed are everywhere from the required discussion fora to the means to share imagery and run conference calls. All that is required are the motivated professionals whose views of the field go beyond their consulting rooms.
This approach is not just limited to one field…so if you know of any successful models in this vein (sorry) then email us at info@reference-tree.com
To share knowledge is the learn from it, to learn from knowledge to is develop and through developing one can find new avenues and thoughts to further enhance one’s knowledge.
Collaboration, discussion, knowledge sharing = the new continuing professional development.
