AAP accepting applications for Tobacco Cessation Clinical Practice Training

“The American Academy of Pediatrics Julius B. Richmond Center of Excellence is seeking applications for a training that will educate clinicians about messages, tools and counseling protocols to screen and counsel patients and families about cessation and secondhand smoke exposure during clinical encounters. Clinicians will be taught how to effectively integrate these practices into their existing practice systems. Applicants are encouraged to attend the training in pairs of a pediatrician and another member of the practice team. There will be two separate trainings and applicants will attend one of the two. Coach airfare, transportation between airport and hotel, hotel accommodations (2 nights maximum), and meals included. For more information, read the application. To be considered, applications must be received by 4:00pm CST on January 31, 2014. Please email questions to richmondcenter@aap.org.”  [Source:  COPrevent]
