What are "continuing education credits" on a doctor's profile, and do they actually matter to me as a patient?

Some provider bios mention continuing education credits or ongoing certifications as a selling point, but I genuinely don't understand what that represents or whether it should factor into my decision at all versus just being filler content on a bio page.

Never really thought about this until reading a bio that specifically mentioned ADHD-focused continuing education courses, which did make me feel a bit more confident than a generic mention would have, the specificity mattered more than the concept itself.
