Training the greatest performers on earth - long term care facility administrators

Nursing Homes, Feb, 2001 by Douglas J. Edwards

Having a strong administration background, which includes years of experience and an MBA in healthcare management from The George Washington University, and having been in long-term care for more than 20 years, Slavin emphasizes the need to regularly update one's skills. To that end, Slavin says that every year he exceeds the number of CEUs he needs for relicensure, and he takes advantages of opportunities for further learning, such as recently becoming a certified Eden Alternative associate.

Recognizing the importance of lifelong learning, Slavin says, "The value of education, both formal and continuing education, becomes more important in an environment such as the one we have today, which is so rapidly changing."
