The Continuing Education Center started its training activity in 1997 in the context of programs by the Ministry of Health - Welfare. After two educational programs carried out in the first year, the implementation of a series of programs followed (13 programs in 1998 -99 and 2000 respectively) through which the opportunity was given to employees of the PHT and of other hospitals of the city as well as hospitals of other counties to be trained and educated.. The seminars carried out at the CEC of the PHT are addressed either to special staff (nursing, administrative, medical) or they involve cross-departmental programs. The lessons are held in a specially equipped with visual means teaching room of the PHT. The CEC, having already had five years of experience, is an innovation in the training of the nursing staff - especially in the field of mental health. It is a Continuing Education Center certified by the Ministry of health - Welfare.
