Abstract

Given that medical science is always advancing, continuing education programs are designed to ensure that all practitioners in the medical and healthcare professions are updated with new developments. According to the issues raised, the present study has been conducted to review the common and effective educational methods in the subjects of continuous education to introduce effective methods to increase sustainable learning and effective education. This study is a review type and was conducted during the years 2000-2023 through searching articles in databases: Google Scholar, Elsevier ISI (Web of Science), and Scopus. The search was conducted using the keywords: “Educational Method”, “Continuing education”, and “Common Method of Teaching”. The results have shown that one of the most important factors influencing continuous education is teaching methods and teaching methods. So the importance of teaching methods in the continuous education programs of doctors has been emphasized in several researches. Considering that the role of new teaching methods in the effectiveness of learning during healthcare activities cannot be ignored, common methods in medical science education along with new methods are one of the effective approaches in sustainable learning among employees. Using this method, sustainable learning will encourage people to continue and carry out correct healthcare and treatment and will create sustainable performance. In addition to lectures, effective educational methods such as group discussion, problem-solving methods, cooperative educational models, clinical education, e-learning, simulation-based medical education, and evidence-based medicine can be used.
