I think the "industry-wide accepted definition" you've referred to is the key here. There's greater awareness of precisely what "staying current" means, and there's a more measurable and straightforward way to fulfill those requirements.
That doesn't mean it isn't rigorous - getting through nursing graduate school and getting board certified as a nurse anesthetist is very rigorous! But my guess is that the path is much clearer. You don't end up getting surprise interview questions about the Fourier transform because you claim to know how to interpret ultrasound.
- dllthomas 12y agoActually, I think the key might be that tech changes while we still need people capable of dealing (in depth!) with the old stuff. You don't have lawyers that need to practice today in the legal system of 20 years ago. Medicine learns better (we hope) ways of dealing with the same thing, but no one needs to remain an expert in the treatments we've discarded. Tech needs some expert COBOL programmers until it doesn't.
