Continuing Education: Up to 6.5 CPH & CHES credits and 2 CLEET hours are available during select presentations at this event. Attendees seeking continuing education or certificates of attendance must request their credits from OPHA through this linked credits and attendance certificate survey within two weeks of the event.
OPHA members and CHWs pay no cost to attend and receive CE credits provided by OPHA; other attendees will be invoiced $15 per credit hour upon credit request effective July 1, 2024. (Except in-person events which may have their own registration fees).
Learning Areas: Ethics, Emergency Management, Crisis Response
Learning Objectives: Participation in this event cumulatively will allow attendees to accomplish several learning objectives:
- Describe 3 ways to engage with OPHA's Emergency Preparedness and Response Section
- Explain ethical considerations in public health
- Describe the interconnectedness of emergency management and public health
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.
