POSTPONED – HPV Training for Oral Health Providers

March 27, 2020 @ 5:00 am - 8:00 am

Free

CE Course has been postponed. Check back late summer for a rescheduled date. 

West Virginia has some of the highest rates of HPV-associated cancers, including oropharyngeal (head and neck) cancers. However, many of these cancers can be prevented through screening and vaccination. This presents an opportunity for oral health professionals to educate patients about the link between HPV and oropharyngeal cancer. This free CE course for oral health professionals will focus on HPV infection, precancers and cancer, prevention, vaccination and early detection.

Speaker: Dr. J.E. Bouquot, “Reflections on HPV Infection, Cancer, Precancer, Life, Love, and New Technologies for Early Detection”

Speaker: Dr. Crystal Sheaves, “Cancer Prevention: The Role of the Dental Provider in Overcoming Barriers to HPV Vaccination”
