<h2>Panel Discussions</h2>

<div>
  Healthcare facilities and educational institutions often select themed weeks
  to host panel discussions. If there are any panel discussions in your area,
  consider attending or even participating. It is a great way for allied health
  professionals to spread awareness on specific topics and answer questions and
  get additional perspectives from the public.&nbsp;
</div>

<h2>Educational Materials</h2>

<div>
  National Allied Health Professionals Week is the perfect time to brush up with
  some continuing education. Often healthcare workers get caught up in the
  day-to-day and have a hard time staying updated on the latest research or
  trends. Make it a point during the week to read a white paper or article or
  attend a webinar. You can find resources from
  <a href="http://www.asahp.org/">ASAHP</a>.&nbsp;

<h2>Recognition Events</h2>

<div>
  If your employer is hosting a lunch or other event to recognize allied health
  professionals, try to make it a priority to attend. You deserve to be
  recognized for your hard work and contributions. Plus, it&#39;s an opportunity
  to socialize more with your colleagues, which can often be a challenge if
  you&#39;re a traveling healthcare professional. You may have a renewed passion
  for your work after participating in these type of feel good conversations and
  events.&nbsp;
</div>

<h2>Themed Merchandise</h2>

<div>
  Do your part to promote the allied health profession by displaying themed
  merchandise for the week if your employer has it available. Past examples of
  National Allied Health Professionals Week merchandise have included pins,
  coffee mugs, and lanyards. Not only do you get to show your pride, but it can
  be a great discussion starter for people to learn more about your profession.
