Healthcare professionals.

Educational Need

This CME activity will address the practice gap of providers not implementing the “announcement approach” to increase HPV vaccination. The announcement approach is an evidence-based approach to increase HPV vaccination.

Many providers currently say to their adolescent patients due for vaccination a phrase like “Molly needs two required vaccines today. The HPV vaccine is optional and could be done later.” Here is an example of the announcement approach: “Molly needs three vaccines today to protect against meningitis, HPV cancers, and whooping cough. She will get those at the end of the visit.”

Learning Objectives

  • Explain the importance of HPV vaccination for adolescents for HPV and cancer prevention.
  • Implement the announcement approach to increase HPV vaccination rates in their practice.

Speaker

Timothy McCoy, DO
Family Medicine Specialist, MercyOne South Des Moines Family Medicine & Urgent Care Clinic, Des Moines, IA

Dr. McCoy has over 25 years of experience in the medical field. He graduated from Des Moines University College Of Osteopathic Medicine.
