Introduction to Behavioral Interventions for Tobacco Treatment (2.0 CE hours), a video-based training, provides foundational knowledge on mindfulness and other behavioral interventions for smoking cessation.
Combining pharmacotherapy and behavioral interventions nearly doubles a patient’s chances of quitting tobacco when compared to any intervention alone. Being able to offer tailored behavioral therapies to patients seeking support for tobacco cessation is an important part of providing standard-of-care treatment.
The Duke-UNC Tobacco Treatment Specialist Training Program just launched a free CE course on foundational concepts of mindfulness and other behavioral interventions for tobacco cessation. Through this video and self-study training, participants will learn to identify key behavioral strategies for smoking cessation, understand the success rates for different types and lengths of behavioral therapy, and help patients who have had a lapse or relapsed after quitting. This course also provides instruction on how to guide patients in mindful smoking reduction, urge surfing, mindful walking, and mindfulness meditation.
The course is presented by James Davis, MD, and Jill Dirkes, MSW, LCSW two co-founding members of the Duke-UNC TTS Training Program. The module is accredited by the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC), the Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education (ACPE), and the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME), to provide continuing education for a variety of healthcare team members.
In addition to our comprehensive tobacco treatment specialist training program, the Duke-UNC TTS Training Program also offers intensive 1-day CE trainings on tobacco dependence pharmacotherapy and more in-depth behavioral interventions for smoking cessation.
