CONTINUING EDUCATION (CE) |
As part of OPHA's mission to promote the professional experiences and development of Oklahoma's health and public health workforce, OPHA offers professional development opportunities and pursues approvals from credentialing bodies to offer continuing education to OPHA members for free as part of their membership benefits. Since September 2023, OPHA is proudly:
OPHA processes requests for continuing education and generates Certificates of Attendance & Evaluation monthly. Certificates are distributed to CE-seeking attendees and reported to appropriate credentialers quarterly (January, April, July & October). If you need your certificate sooner than the next quarterly distribution, please email oklahomapublichealth@gmail.com. CE Credits from OPHA OPHA Meetings & Events OPHA is growing the CEs we offer with our Sections, Caucuses, Committees, and organizational partners! Please check our calendar to find our upcoming CE offerings. OPHA members pay no cost for CE as part of their member benefits and community health workers (CHWs) have their fee waived. All other CE-seeking individuals will pay a $15 fee per credit hour upon registration. OPHA Annual Conferences Up to 7 CPH, CHES/MCHES, and Licensed Social Work credits/hours were offered during OPHA's 2023 Annual Conference and up to 9 CPH, CHES/MCHES, and Licensed Social Work credits/hours were offered for our 2024 Conference. Please contact oklahomapublichealth@gmail.com for ideas or suggestions for CE sessions during OPHA's annual conferences. | Cost of OPHA's CE Credits
OPHA's Approved Provider Credentials
Attendance & Evaluation Policies 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 OPHA's Attendance & Evaluation Survey, provided at the conclusion of the 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.
