• Activity INFORMATION

  Overview

  Former US Surgeon General Dr. Boris Lushniak once challenged all health care professionals to discuss at EVERY encounter the topic of smoking cessation. 50-75% of smokers who try to quit will not use any evidence-based cessation counseling or medications. This represents a huge opportunity, then, in helping patients understand the resources that are available, both pharmacologic and non-pharmacologic. This unique panel discussion hosts multiple cessation specialists to discuss perhaps one of the most significant health interventions that we can assist patients in making. As with all ‘Beyond the Classroom’ discussions, participants will be able to interact directly with the panelists in real time.
