Abstract¶

Education department content review meeting for AANP website redesign project. Team walks through existing education pages to identify content to keep, revise, or remove. Key discussion points include the main education landing page, CE center promotion, accreditation information, student and faculty resources, and education tools. Major theme: converting PDFs to searchable web pages for mobile responsiveness and SEO benefits. Discussion of whether to create a CE calendar sortable by topic, and how to organize patient education vs NP practice resources.

Key Procedures¶

• Review education landing page content and department naming (Education and Accreditation)
• Evaluate three main focus areas: CE Center, Accreditation, Education Tools
• Identify PDFs that should be converted to web pages
• Plan sortable CE calendar by topic area
• Organize patient education materials vs NP practice resources
• Consider external resource links (CDC, etc.) vs AANP-created content
• Determine what content should go on public-facing patient pages vs member-only
