Continuing Education

As part of the federal legislation authorizing AHECs, the centers are charged with delivering or facilitating continuing education and information dissemination programs for healthcare professionals, with an emphasis on individuals providing care in underserved areas and for health disparity populations. To fulfill this mandate, SWLAHEC sponsors or co-sponsors continuing education opportunities for a variety of health professionals via live presentations, satellite and teleconferencing.  Past continuing education topics include, pharmacology, HEP-C Elimination Project in Louisiana, HPV Dental Initiative, The Role of a School Social Worker, Living a Balanced Life: Mental and Physical Health, and Greif and Anger: A Road to Recovery. 

Persons interested in SWLAHEC co-sponsoring or facilitating a CE or CME event should contact Brooke Voorhies brooke.voorhies@swlahec.com
