Registration open for certified Tobacco Treatment Training Program

West Virginia University School of Dentistry, in cooperation with the Health Sciences Center Office of Interprofessional Education, will host a three-day, certified Tobacco Treatment Training Program May 15-17 at the Health Sciences Center.

Professionals in the fields of medicine, dentistry, social work, pharmacy, nursing, and public health will present evidence-based strategies to assist patients and clients interested in tobacco cessation. Registration for the course is open.

Throughout the Tobacco Treatment Training Program, lectures, role-playing, and case presentations will be utilized to educate attendees on pharmacological and counseling interventions for patients interested in tobacco cessation. 

The case presentations will involve patients with relatively healthy medical conditions to patients having multiple medical problems. Alternative methods, such as the electronic cigarette, smokeless tobacco, and more recent products, will be discussed. This three-day course provides continuing education for multiple healthcare providers.
