January 23, 2026
Healthcare Continuing Education Professionals Day™ will be celebrated on Friday, January 23, 2026 — a day dedicated to recognizing the professionals who ensure that healthcare providers stay informed, competent, and capable of delivering the best possible care to their patients.
Healthcare continuing education (CE) professionals play a pivotal role in shaping the future of healthcare by fostering lifelong learning and professional development. Join us in celebrating their contributions and commitment to advancing quality patient care.

Here are some fun and meaningful ways to honor your CE and CPD colleagues:
- Host an Awards Ceremony to recognize the outstanding professionals on your team.
- Organize a Special Lunch Event where colleagues can share experiences and celebrate successes.
- Offer a Workshop or Webinar to strengthen your team’s skills in instructional design, technology, or program evaluation.
- Plan a Team-Building Activity or Outing to foster collaboration and camaraderie.
- Launch a Social Media Campaign highlighting your CE team’s impact on healthcare — and download our upcoming toolkit to help you get started.
