If you’re like me, we have the disease of being busy. I have caseloads, business opportunities, blogs, family, taxes, billing, and as my head starts to spin, I could go on for days.
In a space where there are so many questions about what is appropriate for continuing education, I’ve created a new website solely for professional development hours (PDHs).
I’m announcing that beginning in April 2024, www.passaggioeducation.com is live!
In the past, I have waited for specific continuing education opportunities to roll around that I knew would be applicable to my patient demographic. Sometimes this would put me in a tough situation where I would have to spend money on airfare and hotels just to get trained in something that was voice or swallow related.
That’s why I created Passaggio Education to offer quality PDHs at a very discounted rate so you can afford to educate yourself in the areas of knowledge specific to what you treat.
No longer do you have to travel to get PDHs (unless you want to, of course) and no longer do you have to shell out big bucks to do so! Since running my own business, all my Continuing Education courses have been my financial responsibility, and last year I spent over $1,000 for a course I attended in person. The year before that, it was a little less than $600 for an online certification in my area of specialty. Now can earn your PDHs anywhere at anytime. (PJ’s and coffee encouraged!)
I hope you’ll take advantage of these courses I have created and poured my heart into.
