Description: Join Emily and Tracy (National Cervical Cancer Coalition Tulsa chapter leaders) as they share cervical cancer awareness resources from NCCC, including a free training course where you can earn a certificate of completion!
We will unbox the American Sexual Health Association's HPV screening kit. This self-collection device for HPV testing does not require a trip to the doctor’s office (similar to the Teal Wand). Please send inquiries to admin@okpublichealth.org.

Continuing Education Fees: OPHA members pay no cost to attend and receive CE credits provided by OPHA. OPHA also 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 credit request 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.
