It Takes a Village to Vaccinate:
HPV Summit for Medical and Dental Professionals
The registration deadline is April 30 and seating is limited. No refunds on registration fee 45 days prior to the summit. This activity has been approved for 5.25 contact hours credit for pharmacists, nurses, and dental professionals and 5.5 entry level continuing education hours in health education (CHEH) for CHES/MCHES
According to the CDC, HPV infections are responsible for approximately 31,000+ new cancer diagnoses each year in the United States. Oropharyngeal cancer caused by HPV has surpassed cervical cancer rates. Despite these alarming statistics, HPV vaccination rates remain low. In Arkansas, 35% of girls and 34% of boys are up-to-date on the HPV vaccine series.
This meeting will make the connection between HPV and cancer, give providers tools to talk to patients about the benefits of the HPV vaccine, and share best practices about ways to increase HPV immunization rates.
