Using Professional Organizations to Stay Informed
The final strategy for keeping informed is to join or follow professional organizations focused on your area of interest. There are many benefits to joining an organization or professional association related to your professional interests. These organizations may offer member services such as newsletters for staying informed, discussion lists to talk about hot topics, meetings (online and in-person), and continuing education opportunities.
If you are considering joining an organization, you can visit its web site to find out more information or talk to colleagues. If you trying to stay informed about a narrow aspect of public health, it may be easier to find other colleagues with similar interests at national associations. The annual meetings for an association can provide a broader coverage of various areas of interest in public health. Keep in mind that local or regional groups have a role in staying informed. These groups may be less expensive to join and can also provide more relevant information to your specific part of the country.
