For the UK struggling to deal with the Covid-19 pandemic, the experience of Cuba’s Ministry of Public Health over the past six decades provides the clearest case for a single, universal health system constituting an underlying national grid dedicated to prevention and care; an abundance of health professionals, accessible everywhere; a world-renowned science and biotech capability; and an educated public schooled in public health. All this was achieved despite being under a vicious blockade by the United States for all of that time.

Midlife Development

Can people achieve optimal well-being and thrive after major depression? Contemporary epidemiology dismisses this possibility, viewing depression as a recurrent, burdensome condition with a bleak prognosis. To estimate the prevalence of thriving after depression in United States adults, we used data from the Midlife Development in the United States study. To count as thriving after depression, a person had to exhibit no evidence of major depression and had to exceed cutoffs across nine facets of psychological well-being that characterize the top 25% of U.S. nondepressed adults. Overall, nearly 10% of adults with study-documented depression were thriving 10 years later. The phenomenon of thriving after depression has implications for how the prognosis of depression is conceptualized and for how mental health professionals communicate with patients. Knowing what makes thriving outcomes possible offers new leverage points to help reduce the global burden of depression.

Definition Of

As many of you are probably well aware, the concept of mandatory continuing education as a requirement for practicing health professionals is currently being debated or enacted by many licensing bodies and professional organizations. This mandatory continuing education debate is not only a heated issue here in Canada and the United States, but is also an extremely important issue in many other highly developed industrialized nations of the world. It is quite safe to assume that by the end of this century most, if not all, licensed health professionals will have a mandatory continuing education requirement. What the author intends to do in this analysis is first present a brief definition of continuing education, discuss some salient variables as they relate to continuing education, and finally discuss professionalism and professional obsolescence.
