Education is fundamental to justice and progress, especially in healthcare, where ethical reasoning and empathy are crucial for patient and societal well-being. As medical knowledge and technology rapidly evolve, continuing education empowers healthcare professionals to stay current, improve diagnostic accuracy, and deliver personalized, evidence-based care.
