Free Continuing Education Resources for Safety Net Health Professionals from the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality
Friday, July 12, 2013, 2 PM ET
The Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) and the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) are hosting a webinar to announce an exciting new HRSA website that provides HRSA grantees and safety net providers, such as health center providers, rural health providers, physicians, nurses, pharmacists, and other safety net health professionals with free, clinically relevant modules to support continuing education and workforce training. These free, accredited continuing education resources are based on the comparative effectiveness research from AHRQ’s Effective Healthcare Program.
These modules cover a variety of disease areas including, but are not limited to- diabetes management, heart conditions, mental health, and infectious diseases. Participants will have an opportunity to hear directly from AHRQ staff on how these modules help health care providers access evidence-based research to inform patient treatment decisions and improve care. Furthermore, HRSA staff will discuss how these clinical training modules align with the work of HRSA grantees and debut the new user-friendly HRSA website for safety net providers to access these AHRQ resources.
