Karen DiMarco and Wendy Harrold join me today for another episode in the podcast series featuring carefully curated professional companies I want to introduce to my community.

Karen is a nurse with over 30 years of experience. She is on a mission to transform healthcare through innovative business ventures. She has assisted in revolutionizing traditional continuing education by aligning with research on how nurses learn and retain knowledge most effectively, ultimately to improve patient outcomes.

Wendy has over two decades of experience in the wellness and healthcare continuing education industry. She has a strong passion for holistic health and is committed to advancing education. She has played a pivotal role in developing innovative and impactful programs to bridge the gap between traditional medical practices and emerging wellness trends.

In our conversation, we explore the evolution of continuing professional education, now referred to as continuing professional development. We examine why triggering our learning response truly matters, why self-directed learning is the future, and the current challenges with continuing education regarding delivery and time constraints. We also dive into deprogramming from past training methodologies and discuss the current ANCC guidelines, various types of learning, and the benefits of sapiency for supporting continuing education and reflective practice through artificial intelligence.
