How to be a lifelong learner

Medicine is a highly evolving science, and medical research regularly comes up with new knowledge and discoveries. As a healthcare provider, you must keep up with discoveries, updated protocols, and clinical guidelines so that you can provide optimal, safe, and up-to-date care to your clients. A few tips for becoming a good lifelong learner include making learning a habit and easy to do as much as possible. The second tip to becoming a lifelong learner is to trust but always verify your knowledge. Developing a habit of regularly verifying helps to check if anything has changed in the clinical guidelines or if you have been doing it correctly all the time. Finally, look for and fill your knowledge gaps, and be open to new ideas and perspectives.
