Event Title: 2025 Public Health Policy Day
Event Date: Tuesday, April 15
Event Time: 9:30 AM-1:30 PM / 2:00-4:00 PM
Location: Oklahoma Center for Nonprofits HQ & Zoom (https://us06web.zoom.us/j/81371462123?pwd=R8djRUFOdXOkvRvNlT9jlWoMOsl0MG.1) / Oklahoma Capitol Building
Description: OPHA invites public health students, practitioners, and researchers across Region VI to join our 2025 Public Health Policy Day on Tuesday, April 15! This year's Policy Day is hybrid and come and go. Participants will learn about the legislative process, key bills that impact public health moving through Oklahoma's legislature, and skills to promote public health through education and advocacy. Time to mingle and connect with fellow attendees and advocates is also built in to foster a community of practice for public health policy. In-person attendees may reconvene down the street at the capitol to get familiar with the capitol building, meet with legislators, or even advocate! Up to 4.5 hours of CPH and CHES credits are available between both sessions. View our agenda and register through this event page to join in person or via Zoom! In-person attendees, please RSVP by end-of-day Friday, April 11 so we can include you in our headcount for refreshments.

- Identify public health and allied-health organizations in Oklahoma who are active in policy education or advocacy.
- Recognize key milestones in the legislative process, including committee and chamber voting deadlines.
Continuing Education Fees: OPHA members pay no cost to attend and receive CE credits provided by OPHA. OPHA provides continuing education to Oklahoma CHWs at no cost - thank you for your work improving Oklahoma's communities! All other attendees will be invoiced $15 per credit hour upon event registration effective July 1, 2024.
Continuing Education Attendance & Evaluation Policy: OPHA offers professional development opportunities and pursues approvals from credentialing bodies to offer continuing education. OPHA strives to meet the standards and competencies of credentialing agencies, and therefore attendance at an OPHA CE event does not guarantee credit. CE-seeking attendees must complete our credits and attendance certificate survey, linked here and on OPHA's homepage, for each event so that OPHA's Continuing Education Committee can ensure attendance, demonstrated learning, and provide requested CE event certificates to attendees on a quarterly basis. CE credits are ultimately awarded to participant by credentialing agency/body upon event and survey completion and the attendee reporting our provided activities.
