A recent press release announced that San Diego State University will be providing new online courses for those in the health care industry. Here's a blurb:

"Online career training courses are in heavy demand. Staying on the cutting edge of this popular educational methodology, San Diego State University, College of Extended Studies, recently partnered with Gatlin Education Services to provide online career training courses in the field of health care.

Accessible online, the non-credit courses can help individuals at any stage of their health care career. Whether the student is interested in switching career paths, obtaining advanced training and certificates, or a first-time job seeker in need of specialized training, SDSU and Gatlin provide the necessary resources for workforce, corporate, vocational rehabilitation or individual career training, all from the convenience of your own home or office. These courses have been approved by the San Diego Workforce Partnership."

Online training can be a useful way for professionals to continue their education - without taking too much time away from their careers. Many fields (education, real estate, medicine, etc) require workers to renew their licenses regularly and online classes can be the most convenient way to do that.
