Educational Opportunities
Members of The Association of Occupational Health Professionals in Healthcare are highly motivated to maintain updated knowledge in the field and expect the organization to be one of their main educational resources. AOHP’s Continuing Education Office develops many educational opportunities throughout the year, including:
• The Annual National Conference
• Educational opportunities at chapter meetings
• A traveling educational program, Getting Started On the Road
• AOHP scholarships
• Opportunities to earn continuing education for nurses, physicians and other occupational health professionals.
The national conference is attended by over one-third of the members and is a primary source of professional and clinical updates. It offers a series of dynamic educational sessions which provide Nursing Contact Hours and continuing medical education for physicians, advanced practice nurses, and physician assistants, and clock hours for case managers.
Chapters also offer educational opportunities at each meeting. AOHP also offers a traveling educational program, Getting Started on the Road, which provides practice basics. AOHP offers scholarships to assist with education.
AOHP is an approved provider of continuing education for nurses. All pre-conference workshops, general sessions and breakout sessions in the national conferences will be applied for as Continuing Nursing Education Contact Hours, continuing Medical Education Units and Case Management Hours for case managers.
A nurse can earn contact hours depending on session attendance. Sixty minutes of education constitutes one contact hour. Each nurse should claim only those hours of credit that he/she actually spent in the educational activity. Partial credit will not be granted for any session nor will any credit be given until that individual session has been completed.
For more information on continuing education, please contact our Continuing Education Committee Chair, Mary M. Cox RN, MSN, COHN-S memcgrail@aol.com or phone 301-929-7355.
