Colorado Healthcare Provider Training for Implementing Tobacco Cessation Guidelines in Clinical Practice

“Colorado healthcare providers play a critical role in helping their patients quite tobacco, but many patients report their healthcare providers do not offer advice to quit. In order to better support healthcare professionals of all kinds, a new resource is available.

This free one hour training provides an overview on implementing tobacco cessation clinical guidelines in practice, the latest on medication protocols, practical tips on using motivational interviewing, information on resources such as the Colorado QuitLine, and guidance on addressing emerging tobacco products such as e-cigarettes with your patients. The training also highlights the recently released 32nd tobacco-related Surgeon General's Report "The Health Consequences of Smoking-50 Years of Progress" which presents new data on the health consequences of smoking.
