Researchers conducted a mixed-methods study to evaluate continuing professional development (CPD) success in the health professions. Based on 237 participants' experiences, four themes on the benefits of CPD emerged: learning, teaching, knowledge, and technology scholarships. Structural equation modeling using partial least squares identified three significant direct predictors (P<.05), including instructional, curriculum, and nurturant effects. The researchers also developed a synthesized model, the CPD Determinants and Intrinsic Assets in Learning, to provide some assistance in using technology with CPD for health professions. "The study findings emphasize the convergence and divergence points as considerations in teaching and learning with technology," the authors write. "It also offers valuable insights into relevant implications of technagogy in CPD, including its theory, practice, policy, and research."
