Grand Rounds is available for continuing education.

All continuing education credit for Public Health Grand Rounds (PHGR) is issued online through the CDC/ATSDR Training and Continuing Education Online system. If you have questions, you can email Learner Support, or call them at 1-800-41-TRAIN (1-800-418-7246).

Those who view PHGR either in person or via IPTV or web on demand and who wish to receive continuing education must complete the online seminar evaluation. Thirty days from the initial seminar, the course number will change to WD2346 and will be available for continuing education until December 13, 2018. The course code for PHGR is PHGR10.

Target audience: physicians, nurses, epidemiologists, pharmacists, veterinarians, certified health education specialists, laboratorians, others

Objectives:

1. List key measures of disease involving morbidity, mortality, and/or cost.
2. Describe evidence-based preventive interventions and the status of their implementations.
3. Identify one key prevention science research gap.
4. Name one key indicator by which progress and meeting prevention goals is measured.

CE certificates can be printed from your computer immediately upon completion of your online evaluation. A cumulative transcript of all CDC/ATSDR CE credits obtained through the TCE Online system will be maintained by each user. We hope that this will assist public health professionals in fulfilling the requirements for their professional licenses and certificates.
